Brandin Cooks Is the Forgotten Superstar Wide Receiver of Today's NFL

Think about the top wide receivers in the NFL.

DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones, obviously. Michael Thomas and Mike Evans, no doubt. Antonio Brown and Tyreek Hill, even with the off-field questions. Odell Beckham Jr., A.J. Green, T.Y. Hilton, Davante Adams, Adam Thielen, Keenan Allen and JuJu Smith-Schuster often enter the conversation as well.

But what about the forgotten man? Someone who's played in back-to-back Super Bowls, eclipsed 1,000 yards in four straight seasons and has twice been traded for a first-round pick?

He's one of just four players with an active four-year streak of 1,000-plus yards, along with Brown, Jones and Evans.
