DAY 3: Anez Cooper drafted by Jets

Miami offensive guard Anez Cooper (Pleasant Grove, Ala) was drafted by the New York Jets with the 188th pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday.

Anez started all 16 games at right guard in 2025, earning All-ACC Second Team honors. He played four seasons at Miami, appearing in 52 games, starting 46, all at right guard.

NFL.com analysis:

"Cooper is a big and proportional guard. He loses effectiveness when blocking in space, but he plays with good body control and understands how to use his size to neutralize in-line opponents. He has heavy hands and punches quickly into extension in pass pro to subdue rush momentum, making him difficult to circumnavigate. He struggles staying mirrored to athletic rushers with quality setups, though. His issues identifying and responding to rush games are cause for concern. Cooper's limitations require occasional help, but he has starter upside in the right scheme fit.”

Congratulations, Anez!
