Amari Cooper showing NFL he’s still among the league’s best receivers

Amari Cooper is still among the elite in the National Football League at wide receiver.

He got traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth-round pick and a swap of sixth-round picks, but Cooper has found a rhythm in returning to the AFC. As a South Florida native, he started his career in the AFC as he got selected at No. 4 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders (now Las Vegas Raiders). Cooper played 52 games for the Raiders from 2015 to 2018 — totaling two 1,000-yard seasons, 19 touchdown receptions, and two Pro Bowl appearances.
