I love Zerrick Cooper. Chazz Surratt is another good one too

This kid is no joke. He has played so many different positions for his team throughout his career and racked up some gaudy numbers. Plus he's a smart kid, great GPA, and I understand him in interviews. Check him out. Not bad film at all. I would be surprised if he doesn't end up going to UNC.

Short read on Surratt from opposing coach Sean Joyce, "Joyce remembers how a heavy rain pelted the field in the fourth quarter. He thought it might slow East Lincoln’s passing game. Joyce changed his defense to position more defenders near the line of scrimmage. “The whole time, I’m sitting there thinking, ‘No way they’re going to throw in this weather. We’ll send pressure,’ ” Joyce said. “And doggone it, if (Chazz) didn’t throw a strike, about 60 yards in the air. That broke our back.”

I do know it's safe to say that he's got plenty of athletic ability. Sure, he's raw as a passer but he's led his team to two straight state titles. Not bad. He can play so many positions that he'd fit well on any roster. I wouldn't mind us taking him as an athlete and perhaps putting him as a DB. Surratt has great ball skills, high points it, and has great quickness. He has the size as well to play at the safety position.

Having said that, you could put him at WR as well and I'm sure he'd do fine. You could also have him return kicks although I'm sure you could find a faster player. It wouldn't be a stretch to see him in the nickelback position. He's a bright kid and I'm sure that transitioning into any position may not be as difficult on him as opposed to others.
