Will Amari Cooper’s Success Carry Over into 2019?

The 2018-19 NFL season was truly a tale of two cities when it came to Amari Coopers on-field performance. Before a career-altering trade to Dallas, it had appeared that the former Alabama superstar’s time as a go-to wide receiver was coming to an end. In the first six games under new head coach John Gruden, Cooper had reeled in 22 catches for 280 yards and just one touchdown. The year before the Oakland Raiders hiring of Gruden wasn’t one to brag about either. It was easily Coopers worst season as a pro, he amassed just 48 catches for 680 yards and seven touchdowns.
