49ers target Omar Cooper Jr. to boost yards after catch production

nytimes.com [$]

The 49ers are reportedly targeting Indiana receiver Omar Cooper Jr. in the upcoming NFL Draft to address a decline in their yards after catch (YAC) production. The team's YAC average has significantly dropped in recent seasons, and with key players aging or departing, Cooper's ability to gain yards after a reception is seen as a crucial need. Cooper has drawn comparisons to Deebo Samuel for his ability to break tackles and has demonstrated strong receiving skills and athleticism.
