The Jets selected Cooper in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 188th overall.
The Jets sent the Seahawks a seventh-round pick to move up 11 spots and take Cooper. Through four years at Miami, Cooper started 45 games at right guard. Cooper's an imposing force at 6-foot-6, 334 pounds and should be considered a solid backup on the interior of the Jets' offensive line.
