The brother of former Eastern Michigan and Michigan QB Greg Cooksey. BJ is a hard nosed leader who ranks in the top tier of safties. His coverage skills are first class and is an absolute ball hawk.
He draws similar comparisons to former Miami Hurricans and Baltimore Ravens star Ed Reed. He can make a QB’s life miserable if they don’t know where he is on the field in the passing game.
