Amari Cooper (born June 17, 1994) is an American football wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Alabama, where he was the Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's top receiver and a unanimous All-American in 2014. Widely considered the top wide receiver prospect of the 2015 NFL Draft, he was selected with the fourth overall pick by the Oakland Raiders.

After successful rookie and sophomore seasons that included back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns and two Pro Bowl appearances, Cooper struggled in his third season with the Raiders, totaling just 680 yards. Midway through the 2018 season, he was traded to the Cowboys and his play began to flourish again, including a 217-yard performance, and as a result, was voted to the third Pro Bowl of his career.

Early years[]

Cooper attended Miami Northwestern Senior High School in Miami, Florida.[1] As a junior, he missed much of the season with an injury, but still managed to be one of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's primary targets and had 16 catches for 175 yards with four scores. Cooper was dominant on the 7-on-7 circuit at various college campuses before his senior season. He had a show-out performance at Alabama's summer camp,[2] and that quickly led to an offer from Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide. In his final year, he hauled in 33 receptions for 722 yards and six touchdowns. He was a first-team FHSAA 8A All-State selection, as well as the number-four player on Orlando Sentinel’s Florida Top 100.[3] He was also invited to play at the 2012 Under Armour All-America Game, where he had a 75-yard touchdown grab and a 93-yard punt return for a score. In addition to being a standout in football, Cooper also starred in basketball and track at Miami Northwestern.[4]

Cooper was a consensus four-star prospect. He was listed as the number 45 in the Rivals100, and was considered the number-six wide receiver and number-eight player in Florida by Rivals.com.[5] ESPNU listed him as the nation's number-seven wideout and number-46 overall prospect in the ESPNU 150 while ranking 25th in the ESPNU Southeast Top 100 and number 12 in Florida.[6] He was ranked as the number-six wide receiver and the number-10 player in the state of Florida by 247Sports.com, while ranking him 55th in the Top247.[7] Also, Scout.com rated him as the number-12 pass catcher in the nation and 86th overall prospect.[8] He chose Alabama over Florida State, Miami, and Ohio State, among others. Cooper announced his verbal commitment to the University of Alabama on September 22, 2011.[9]

College career[]

Freshman season[]

As a freshman at Alabama, Cooper played in all 14 games, including starts in the final nine games. He led the team with 59 receptions for 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns.[10][11] The 11 touchdowns broke Alabama's 62-year-old record by Al Lary.[12] His receptions and receiving yards broke Julio Jones's Alabama freshman records. In the SEC Championship, he had eight receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown in the 32–28 victory over Georgia.[13] In Alabama's 2013 BCS National Championship Game 42–14 victory over Notre Dame, Cooper led all Alabama receivers with six catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns.[14][15] Cooper earned consensus Freshman All-American honors and was selected to the SEC All-Freshman team by the league coaches.[16]

Sophomore season[]

As a sophomore in 2013, Cooper played in 12 games with seven starts, missing two games due to injury. He had 45 receptions for a team-high 736 yards and four touchdowns.[17] He had his best game of the season against Auburn in the Iron Bowl, recording six receptions for 178 yards, including a school record 99-yard touchdown reception from quarterback A. J. McCarron.[18] In the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma, he had nine receptions for 121 yards in the 45–31 loss.[19]

Junior season[]

As a junior in 2014, Cooper set numerous single-season and career records for Alabama.[20] Against Tennessee, he broke Alabama's single game receiving yards record, finishing with 224.[21] He later matched the record against Auburn.[22] For the season, Cooper had 124 receptions for 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns, both school records. In addition, his 124 receptions were an SEC record.[23] He became Alabama's all-time leader in receptions (228), receiving yards (3,463), and receiving touchdowns (31).[24][25][26] Cooper was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, finishing third behind Marcus Mariota and Melvin Gordon.[27] He won the Biletnikoff Award that season and was also named a unanimous All-American.[28][29]

After his junior season, Cooper entered the 2015 NFL Draft.[30][31]

The Oakland Raiders selected Cooper in the first round with the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.[36][37] Cooper was initially assigned the jersey number 19, but following the release of fellow receiver James Jones, he switched to number 89. Cooper made his NFL debut on September 13, 2015. He had five receptions for 47 yards in a 33–13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.[38] In his second game against the Baltimore Ravens, he had 109 yards and caught his first touchdown on a 68-yard pass from Derek Carr.[39] The following week, Cooper had a franchise rookie record eight receptions for 134 yards in a 27–20 road victory over the Cleveland Browns, becoming the first Raiders receiver with consecutive 100+ yard receiving games since Randy Moss in 2005.[40][41] Through three games, his 290 receiving yards were third in NFL history. On November 8, 2015, Cooper passed Tim Brown's record for rookie receptions (43) in a 35–38 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.[42]

On December 20, 2015, Cooper became the first rookie in franchise history to reach the 1,000-yard mark and the only receiver in the club to reach that same mark since Randy Moss, in 2005.[43] His five 100+ yard receiving games and 72 receptions are also franchise rookie records.[44] On December 22, 2015, Cooper was selected as an alternate for the Pro Bowl, alongside teammates Derek Carr and Latavius Murray;[45] he replaced Brandon Marshall and played.[46]

His yardage was the most by any NFL player at that point in the 2017 season, the second-most in franchise history, and the first 200+ yard game in franchise history since 1965.[55][56] With his stellar performance in Week 7, Cooper earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week.[57] After a string of games without stellar yardage totals, Cooper had three receptions for 66 receiving yards and a 63-yard touchdown during a week-16 loss (19–10) to the Philadelphia Eagles. In the season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, Cooper caught three receptions for 115 yards and an 87-yard touchdown in the 30–10 loss.[58] He was later revealed to have struggled throughout the latter half of the season with an ankle injury that hampered his play.[59] Cooper finished the 2017 season recording career-lows with 48 receptions for 680 yards but did have a career-high seven touchdowns.[60]

On July 1, 2019, Cooper stated, "I think the change of scenery was really necessary, I really, honestly, don’t think if I would’ve stayed with the Raiders last season that I would’ve been able to flourish and reach some heights that I was able to reach as a Cowboy. So, it was definitely necessary."[73]

During the season opener against the New York Giants, Cooper caught six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys won by a score of 35–17.[74] Two weeks later against the Miami Dolphins, he caught six passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns as the Cowboys won 31–6.[75] During Week 5, Cooper caught 11 passes for a career-high 226 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 34–24.[76] In the next game against the New York Jets, Cooper caught a three-yard reception before leaving the eventual 24-22 road loss with a thigh injury.[77] The Cowboys went on to lose 22–24.
