A second-round pick out of Texas A&M, Cooper finished his rookie season with 77 tackles (13 for loss), 3½ sacks, seven quarterback hits, four passes defensed, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 14 games (four starts).

Over the past five seasons (2020-24), Cooper is one of three NFL players to hit those marks in a season, joining Steelers DL Cameron Heyward (2021) and Bears LB Roquan Smith (2020). The 6-foot-2, 229-pound linebacker also led the Packers with 10 special-teams tackles.

Williams, a fourth-round pick out of Oregon, registered 47 tackles (30 solo), a tackle for loss, an interception, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in 13 games with six starts.
