Former Utah State Aggie Chris Cooley now the Redskins' 'Professor X'

The Redskins' first play last week against the Chicago Bears included three tight ends — Davis, Cooley and second-year player Niles Paul — but neither Davis or Cooley has caught a pass in preseason. Both hope to get more involved in Saturday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, although Cooley isn't fretting about his lack of chances.

"Initially in my career, it was really hard for me if I wasn't catching balls, even in practice," Cooley said. "I think it's hard for Fred, because he's in a position where he wants to catch 80 balls. I've had to take him aside and say, 'Hey, listen, look at what everyone else is doing. Look at what some of the receivers are doing, look at what the other tight ends are doing, and take that as what you're going to be doing once the season starts.'"
