Reactions pour in to Texas A&M football's Edgerrin Cooper being selected by the Green Bay Packers: "Jeff Hafley is very happy right now"
The first Texas A&M football player is off the board for the 2024 NFL Draft, as the Green Bay Packers selected linebacker Edgerrin Cooper with the 45th overall pick. Cooper is the highest choice for the Aggies since Kenyon Green was selected in the first round in 2022.
Since the Pack made their selection of Cooper, the reactions have been pouring in, and suffice it to say that the Green Bay fans are happy with their team's decision.

Cooper is a guy that will come to the field prepared to play ball, but apparently he was less prepared for a phone call with reporters after being selected.
