Amari Cooper is just 80 yards away from hitting the 1,000-yard mark in his rookie season.
“I think it will be a cool accomplishment,” Cooper said. “Of course I set a lot of individual goals but I haven’t reached any of them yet.”
He didn’t specify if the 1,000-yard mark is one of those goals and surely it’s been diminished as a major milestone in the NFL considering how much teams throw the ball these days. But it is still a big deal.
“It may not mean what it did at one time in terms of the number of guys that are able to make that accomplishment, but it’s still a sizable chunk of real estate that you’re collecting over a season,” coach Jack Del Rio said.
