Two local offensive linemen were cut from their prospective NFL teams Saturday as teams made their final cuts to 53 players. Fahn Cooper, a 2011 Crystal Lake South graduate, was let go by San Francisco. Mike Liedtke, a 2010 Woodstock grad, was released by the New York Jets. Cooper (6-foot-4, 303 pounds) was a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft from Mississippi. He began his college career at Bowling Green, played a year at College of DuPage, then finished with two years at Ole Miss. Liedtke (6-3, 305) was a running back and defensive end at Woodstock, then switched to the offensive line at Illinois State, where he was on the Redbirds' NCAA FCS runner-up team two years ago.
