Is Cooley Still Considered an H-Back?

SI.com - Writers - Inn-O-vation (cont.) - Tuesday May 29, 2007 1:17PM
So I was reading a SI.com article and I came across this quote:

Quote:
Washington's Chris Cooley is the perfect example of the modern H-back. He has the speed and athleticism to be a major threat in the passing game, but is also powerful enough to be an effective lead blocker on running plays. He allows the to present several different looks out of their base personnel group.
I thought that under Saunders' system Cooley was used more like your typical tight end. I can't remember ever seeing him used as a fullback/lead blocker for running plays, which this guy seems to suggest he does.
Cooley seems like he should be considered a pure TE now because he is more likely to either line up next to the OT, go in motion, or line up in the slot.

So is this guy just behind the times or is Cooley still considered an H-back? (I know it doesn't really matter what he's considered as long as he's making plays, but there isn't much to talk about so I'm grasping at straws here)
