A top-10 pick in a rather miserable 2013 NFL Draft (in hindsight), Jonathan Cooper was one of the two “can’t-miss” interior lineman taken among the top 10 picks of said draft. The Arizona Cardinals selected the unanimous All-American with the 7th pick in the draft, but instead of getting a guy who’d solidify the interior of an offensive line that seemingly always needs help, Arizona barely ever got to see what Cooper could have been at all.

Cooper broke his left leg before his rookie season ever started, and many have speculated that he was never the same player after returning, as he both lacked the same abilities when he got back on the field, and struggled to stay on the field with even more nagging injuries that would follow.
