NSFL PROSPECT

Subject: Cooper Christmas
Wide Receiver
6'5" / 220lbs.


Have you ever played the Madden video game? Specifically the Madden 04 edition or Madden 25 . These games contain an enhanced version of a wide out named Brian Finneran (see this for further) https://youtu.be/R5Mm-kQsE-w

Finneran was an unstoppable red zone threat. The things that receiver could do in the virtual world EWU's Cooper Christmas has been doing in the real world of college football.
This tall receiver was the Big Sky Conference leader in receptions and touchdowns for 3 of his 4 seasons at EWU. With 117 receptions and 19 TD's for this season alone. The stats are video game like, the physical gifts this receiver possesses are gravity defying.

Strengths-
Hands - Christmas possesses hands like football magnets, amazing grip strength and delicate fingertip control.

Body Control- His leaping ability is outstanding and when combined with his 6'5" length it's a deadly combination that has been used with maximum results by EWU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks without hesitation. The red zone is the North Pole and Christmas lives there. This WR has demonstrated on numerous occasions during his time at EWU that special ability to know exactly where the boundary markers are and can tightrope walk them like an all pro.

Weaknesses-

Considering the career he has established at EWU and the records he set both for the school and the Big Sky Conference there aren't many chinks in the armor of Cooper Christmas.

Speed- It's average, an could benefit greatly from specialized training.

Level of Competition- It still must be considered a weakness until he proves himself in NSFL competition. The Big Sky Conference will never be considered on the same level as the SEC or the Big 10. And some would argue that Christmas' accomplishments could never be duplicated against stronger competition. These same critics have seemed to have glazed over the 6 non conference opponents that made the mistake of paying EWU to rattle their confidence as Christmas toasted them during his EWU days.
