PLAYER ANALYSIS
Small-school pocket passer with a lively arm but an injury history that is hard to ignore. Cookus has had two season-ending injuries while at Northern Arizona, but when he's played, he's been impressive. He works with pocket twitch and has the ability to get the ball out quickly on RPOs or when pressured. While he appears to be decisive with the football, he's also a half-field reader who must prove he can read the full field and play chess when tasked with recognizing disguised coverages and altering his initial plans. Cookus should be a priority free agent if he isn't drafted.
