Raiders' first-round pick Cooper ‘thinking about Canton’

Raiders 2015 first-round pick Amari Cooper hasn't taken an NFL snap yet, but the wideout has high aspirations for what his pro career can be.

After being selected No. 4 overall, Cooper wrote on Twitter, "I'm not thinking about a mansion man I'm thinking about Canton."

Cooper, one of the most accomplished receivers in Alabama history, is referring to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, located in Canton, Ohio.

In addition to former owner Al Davis and coach John Madden, 12 players in Raiders history have been inducted into the Hall of Fame (Jim Otto, George Blanda, Willie Brown, Gene Upshaw, Art Shell, Fred Biletnikoff, Ted Hendricks, Mike Haynes, Dave Casper, Marcus Allen and Ray Guy).
