Name one top US Woman Olympic 100 meter runner Cooper could beat: Answer obviously is ZERO. Could he beat Sydney McLaughlin in the 400 hurdles? Nope. How about the top US woman high jumper?? I’m not impressed with his athleticism outside the gridiron. Dude never won a B1G football championship. Not even close.

You want Real Talk: 15 years ago, my rec league put together an "All-Star" team that took on the Eagles in a charity basketball game at a suburb Philly high school. Was it their starters? For the most part, no. We are talking about Hank Baskett, Omar Gaither, Quintin Mikell, AJ Feely, etc. We, a group of 25-40-something weekend warriors, kicked their ass. They couldn't dribble, they couldn't pass, they surely couldn't shoot the ball. All they could do was dunk. Now, every single one of them could dunk, even the 350 lbs. linemen, but that is it.
So CC is probably right.
She's not playing some random football player who sucks at basketball. She's playing a guy who averaged over 20 a game in HS boys basketball who also is extremely athletic - athletic enough to be drafter as a corner as a white guy. You realize that no white guy has started at corner in the NFL in 20+ years and this guy is a 2nd round draft pick as a white dude.
He clearly can dribble and he out weighs her by 50 pounds. Unless they turn this into "touch basketball" where he's now allowed to push her into the block, she's screwed. Dribble down in the block and do a turnaround 3 footer over and over. He should score every time so she'd better hit a ton of threes which I don't think will happen as he should just get in her grill on the perimeter and dare her to try to take him to the hole. WIth his 38.5" vertical, he'll likely have time to get back and block her shot.
The last time I checked, Cooper DeJean had never started an NFL game. Also, Reed Blankenship would like to know about white NFL starters in the secondary.
Every clip I have ever seen of Cooper DeJean playing Basketball shows him dunk, which is a lot harder for a 6'1" player on a back-down. Also, there is such a thing as a Charge Foul, regardless of what rules you use.
I would bet that CC hits 4 threes before he scores 5 dunks on her. Easy.

I'd say more like 8 three's. Maybe even a couple half court shots because she is that good. Eyes closed even to trick Cooper into believing she is asleep. Since she is so much stronger than him, she will be able to back him down and reverse dunk utilizing her 5 inch I mean 50 inch vertical. Covering Marvin Harrison Jr. Is a breeze compared to covering Caitlin. I even wonder what she could do as a cover corner in the NFL.
