First of all, Marcus Cooper is a 6’2”, 192-pound defensive back who runs in the low 4.40s (h/t 49ers.com). That kind of physical ability is hard to come by, which is why he may turn out to be a late-round steal by San Francisco.

From a scouting perspective, the measurables are there, and he looks good on tape. Fortunately, this organization relies on the coaching staff’s ability to educate and improve the players on the roster.

Cooper is a long, well-built, physical press-corner with upside at safety, if San Francisco were to request the transition. He fits in immediately because the 49ers need more competitive youth in the secondary.

Moreover, the physicality in Cooper’s game makes this a good match. He is just as capable laying the wood and seems to have a knack for initiating high-impact blows.

When it comes to being a defensive back for San Francisco, Cooper looks the part.
