Cooper continued on Monday his pledge to reconnect with the alumni as he
visited Dallas Cowboys training camp in San Antonio. While in San Antonio,
Cooper met up with former Lions quarterback Wade Wilson. The Commerce, Texas
native, who is in his first season as the quarterbacks coach for the Dallas
Cowboys, played for the Lions from 1977-1980.

In addition to his visit with Wilson, Cooper met up with Dallas Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones. The two were able to get reacquainted during the
post-training camp meeting. Furthermore, Cooper also visited with former
Cowboys and Oklahoma head football coach Barry Switzer and former Cowboys,
Calvin Hill and Lee Roy Jordan.
