NFL free agency profile: Amari Cooper has all the tools needed to be a top-five wide receiver

Though perhaps not quite as consistent as some of the best in the game, wide receiver Amari Cooper has everything needed to be a legitimate No. 1 weapon for an offense and a matchup problem for every defense he faces.

After he was freed from the Oakland Raiders, Cooper showed the kind of impact he can have on an offense that is prepared to push the ball downfield and attack coverages. In 2019, he was one off the league lead in deep (20-plus air yard) receptions, catching 15 of those passes for 503 yards and five scores.
