Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper has seemed to have the making of a star since he busted onto the scene after being taken fourth overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. Speed to burn, silky smooth route running, the ability to make guys miss him in open space for extra yards after the catch – he seemed to have next-level skills.
Cooper only reinforced his burgeoning star power his first two seasons by hauling in 155 receptions for 2,223 yards and 11 touchdowns. For sure, after his first two years, Cooper was going to be one of those transcendent receivers who can lift an offense and help carry them to the promised land, right?
