Some have said Cooley had an off year last year, but I think he just didn't have many great highlights. He's improved in his blocking, though he's not a great blocker, and he had to help a lot in pass pro before releasing on short routes.
He had to play more of a traditional TE role rather than the downfield stuff that Saunders had him running, or the more versatile h-back stuff that Gibbs had him in. I give Cooley a lot of credit for playing w/in the system & improving the less heralded part of his game. I don't recall him dropping much either.
