Reggie Wayne thinks Raiders WR Amari Cooper weight gain last season made him slow, stiff like ‘an 18-wheeler’

Amari Cooper wasn’t himself most of last season. Those of us who have followed him closely pointed to injuries as his main problem because we’ve seen him struggle when he’s been hurt berfore. Reggie Wayne thinks it was something else — his weight gain.

Reggie Wayne says the bulk #Raiders WR Amari Cooper added last offseason led to some struggles: "That can slow you down and make you a little stiff. I don't think he ran his routes the same. He used to run great routes. This year he seemed like he was more of an 18-wheeler".
