Washington Redskins fans would love nothing more than to have Cooley develop into a better tight end than Jason Witten, a member of the archrival Dallas Cowboys . If the 23-year-old can get some consistent play from his quarterbacks, the Redskins and their fans may be looking at the next big thing at the tight end position in the NFL. Judging by the youngster's development thus far, this possibility should not be ruled out.

So, is Cooley the nect breakout Tight End?...Is he of Witten caliber?

He definitely showed flashes of brilliance last season. I saw one or two games where he absolutely dominated. I believe one of them was a three-touchdown performance. I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up being a Pro Bowl level tight end before too long.

3 TD game huh?...misssed that one...gotta pencil the man in on the fantasy draft sheet...

Yeah, do so. He had 774 yards and 7 touchdowns while splitting time at the h-back position in Gibbs offense last season, and had six scores the season before. His 3 TD game came against Dallas on Dec 18, on six catches no less. Definitely someone to look at as a TE.
