Instincts: Finds ways out of tackles most running backs cannot; knows when to juke a defender and when to lower his shoulder. Cooley’s vision might be his best asset. Reads his blockers well.

Polish: Cooley is a very good inside runner because he can follow his blocks or create on his own by making inside linebackers miss. Sets up multiple moves very well. Excellent lateral quickness to avoid tacklers.

Bottom Line: Cooley provides a quick-darting style of running the football that’s especially effective between the tackles. Able to utilize multiple moves within a few steps, he’s a very elusive running back.
