Amari Cooper

In Amari Cooper’s short five year career, he has only been on two teams — the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys. He was traded from Oakland to Dallas in the middle of the 2018 year which he was a Pro-Bowler for.

In those five years, Cooper has been a Pro-Bowler three times. He has accumulated 357 receptions for 5,097 yards and 33 touchdowns. He has caught over 1,000 receiving yards in all but one season in his career.

With that last catch, Amari Cooper has now established a single season career-high in receiving yards (1,172), topping his previous season-best of 1,153 yards in 2016.

Coming off of a 2019 season which was arguably his best statistical season yet, Cooper is poised to break out even more than he already has. Amari Cooper has his prime in front of him and the next contract he signs will be an important one.

If the New Orleans Saints can lock down a receiver like Cooper for another three to four years throughout his prime, Cooper and Thomas could be the best wide receiver duo in the entire National Football League.
