'[Jeudy] reminds me a lot of Amari Cooper': CB A.J. Bouye impressed early by Denver's first-round pick

[Miles]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A.J. Bouye has seen his fair share of talented receivers.


He's covered plenty of the NFL's best wideouts during his career, and as a 2017 Pro Bowler, he matched up against the league's best in Orlando.


Though he wasn't in Florida alongside Bouye, Cowboys receiver Amari Cooper has been a near perennial Pro Bowler since entering the league, and Bouye now sees similarities between the four-time Pro Bowler and a new member of the Broncos' roster.


"When I watch Jerry Jeudy, he kind of reminds me a lot of Amari Cooper in Oakland with how he's running his routes, especially when guys are playing off," Bouye said Tuesday. "… The stems that he showed, leverage and how he attacks everything — he gets your feet to stop and that's when it's over. I like seeing things like that. It's just helping me game plan myself against him because you never know when other receivers are going to try and implement that."


Bouye knows Cooper well, as he faced off against him in both the 2016 regular season and the 2016 postseason.


The veteran cornerback's praise for the rookie receiver comes days after safety Kareem Jackson said Jeudy gets in and out of his breaks better than any player he's ever seen.


Both Jeudy and second-round pick KJ Hamler have left an impression on the veteran players early in training camp.


"Being in the league for a while, I've seen a lot of rookie receivers come in and it seems like they don't have it figured out," Bouye said. "You can look at those two and tell — whether it's in the offseason, coaching that they've had outside — they're real polished in routes, especially Jeudy. He never gives you the same look every time and I'm loving going against him. He's going to keep me true to my technique."


Across the offensive side of the football, young players are making an impact as the team implements a new system.


"When you're in the huddle, you'd never know that these guys are first, second, third or fourth-year players," guard Graham Glasgow said. "They all conduct themselves extremely well and I think that's something we have going for us. It doesn't really matter that they're young. They have the mentality that they're just going to go out there and produce, and that's something you can't really teach. That's more credit to them."
