It's hard to believe that anyone could look at Cooley and not be impressed. His ability to catch the ball alone makes him a standout. He has unbelievable hands. And he runs after the catch like John Riggins. If Parcells told him he couldn't play, he was way out to lunch. Parcells is, I think, a better judge of defensive talent. Defensive coaches can rely on the stopwatch too much. Cooley's 40 time is probably not that elite.

I know that after the fact, Parcells became a Cooley believer. He had very nice things to say about him before the game here last year. He basically said, "we would be a lot better if we had a guy who could do what he does." Of course you can't really say bad things about a guy when he scores three TDs on you in a game the year before.
