For Oakland Raiders WR Amari Cooper, practice makes perfect

By Josh Dubow, AP Sports Writer

ALAMEDA, Calif. — The dropped passes that plagued an otherwise productive rookie season are now in the past for Amari Cooper. The struggles to drag a second foot inbounds that cost him a couple of touchdowns were quickly fixed.

In his two seasons in the NFL, Cooper has shown an impressive ability to identify any flaws in his game and correct them quickly. That helped him become the first receiver to top 1,000 yards for the Oakland Raiders in 10 years as a rookie in 2015 and then put up even bigger numbers this season.
