With Riley Cooper signed, let the battle for Eagles 4th WR commence

July 13th, 2010 · No Comments · NFL, Philadelphia Eagles

One catches diapers from a Playboy Playmate who lived with Hugh Hefner. The other caught passes from self-proclaimed virgin Tim Tebow. One will likely be the fourth receiver and Red Zone target for new QB Kevin Kolb. The other could end up watching the next NFL season from home.

Hank Baskett and rookie wide receiver Riley Cooper, the fifth round pick from Florida, will be in a battle for depth chart positioning in Lehigh later this month. Cooper officially singed his rookie deal today.

Riley Cooper and Tim Tebow share a laugh at Florida. Cooper looks to do the same with Kevin Kolb.

The goat of the Super Bowl, Baskett is trying to make the team to maintain his NFL career. Cooper is trying to make a name for himself.

Baskett measures 6-4 to Cooper’s 6-3. Baskett’s had his chances; Cooper’s going to get his. The one who can go up and get the ball on fade routes in the end zone the best will be the fourth wideout and have a chance to do some major damage. With opposing defenses focusing on DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek and Jason Avant, the fourth wideout will have space in which to work.

Cooper hauled in 18 scores from new Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow during his time at Florida.
