It shouldn’t come as a surprise that NFL teams are showing interest in former South Carolina receiver Pharoh Cooper.
According to The Post and Courier’s David Caraviello, Cooper said at South Carolina’s Pro Day on Wednesday that he’ll be showing off his skills in a meeting with the New Orleans Saints. He’ll also be visiting the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions.

Here are Cooper’s 40-yard dash times, according to The State’s Josh Kendall. Although his time is reminiscent of former Ole Miss receiver Laquon Treadwell’s at his Pro Day, Cooper doesn’t seem to get as much flack for it despite being viewed among the top wideouts in this year’s NFL Draft.
Pharoh Cooper ran a 4.61 and a 4.69 today at South Carolina Pro Day on Wednesday.
