Oakland Raiders Will Need Amari Cooper To Step Up In 2017

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper is a fantastic young player, and is well deserving of both of his Pro Bowl selections through his first two seasons. As the 4th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, he thus far as met, or probably even exceeded expectations.

But if the Raiders are going to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders, Oakland’s young wideout has to take his game to the next level.

Since joining the Silver and Black, Cooper has paired with Michael Crabtree to form the deadliest receiving duo in the league. This past season, they became the first Raiders’ WR duo to each top 1,000 yards receiving since Jerry Rice and Tim Brown did so in 2001.
