Copper, who is six-foot-even and 207 pounds, does not possess the optimum burst or topnotch speed needed to be a top-three NFL receiver. His acceleration off the line of scrimmage is good and he shows good body control. His hard cuts are not bad and he runs an efficient slant, using his body well and adjusting quickly. Copper is adroit on grabbing the low throw, show fine effort in trying to make the play and is usually able to control his body. However, his speed, burst and cuts are lacking.
