Is Cooley Still Considered an H-Back?

TE's are allowed to wear numbers in the teens, 40s, and 80s. Dallas Clark is number 44.

And I don't know why people are saying Cooley is a H-Back and not a Tight End. He says he's a TE and so do the coaches. Nobody ever called Tony Gonzalez a H-Back even though he was used the same way as Cooley in the same system.
