The 1,000-yard landmark is a feat that has not been reached by a New Orleans Saints wide receiver since 2012, a year when both Marques Colston and the departed Lance Moore (now in Detroit) accomplished the mission. But Brandin Cooks ended the two-year drought during Sunday’s win and dismantling of the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ defense.
There was no ‘sophomore slump’ for Brandin Cooks in 2015, as he has installed himself into the Saints’ high-powered offense with ease, recording 79 catches for 1,116 yards and nine touchdowns (all lead the team) through 15 games in his second year.
