Cooley was one of the most consistent receiving tight ends of his generation, gaining between 700 to 850 yards five times in six seasons. Knee surgeries caught up to him in his final seasons, but he was the most reliable offensive player on Redskins teams that struggled to move the ball. He also will be remembered fondly as one of the first NFL players to fully embrace the Internet, growing a loyal fanbase just by interacting and being himself.
