People missed out on Bob Sander (the #44 pick 20 years ago!!), too.
This one time i bought a pair of levis from costco. It was marked $31 but rang up $15 at checkout. it was a nice feeling. right now the eagles have to be almost as delighted as i was that day.
There are those on here that are less than excited about him going to Philadelphia and their fans.
Don't personally care one way or the other about them, but they ARE a tough crowd.
I am old enough to remember the infamous incident back in the day when they bombarded Santa Claus with snowballs on their sideline!!!
It was a different time.

It sucks that Cooper slipped to #40 but he's still gonna be a rich multi-millionaire the moment he signs his contract. And by not returning to college he's going to be a year further along to his next NFL contract.
Many experts had Cooper being picked by the 25th overall pick. By slipping to #40 he lost approximately $5M (that would be paid out over the 4 years of his contract).
But look at the difference in the first year:
* Last year's #25 pick was paid $7,625,924.
* Last year's #40 pick was paid $4,102,524
The money we're talking about as a player slides in the NFL Draft:

I don’t root hard for any NFL team just Hawkeyes, so I am glad to have another team I want to watch.
When everything started shutting down because of the pandemic, on March 17, 2020, Cooper committed to Iowa.
Where'd those 4 years go?

A talented kick/punt returner from Cal that did damage in both college and the pros. Played for the Eagles.
Still don’t get the Iowa hate on ISU. I understand the ISU hate on Iowa. Iowa fan Dissing ISU is like Michigan fan dissing MSU; doesn’t make sense and is a waste of our superior position in the pecking order we enjoy.
Tell me you don’t live in ankeny without telling me you don’t live in ankeny.
I can’t believe the blatantly racist shit being said on x by some a holes. He’s white so I guess it’s allowed.
