Omar Cooper Jr. Swaps Jersey for Legacy | New York Jets News

Jets rookie Omar Cooper Jr. is switching from jersey number 83 to the iconic 11 for his regular-season debut, reconnecting with his high school roots and honoring a number that once belonged to legendary Jets receivers. The switch, made possible after kicker Blake Grupe graciously gave up his old number, ties Cooper to his past — including his college days at Indiana where he dazzled with 115 catches, 1,798 yards, and 22 touchdowns. Drafted third overall, Cooper’s talent shone in preseason, and he’s eager to prove himself against the Titans while soaking in mentorship from veteran teammates in a stacked receiving corps.
