Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper attended the University of Alabama, where he had a highly successful college career from 2012 to 2014. His outstanding performance in his junior year earned him the Fred Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s top receiver and he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting.
Following his successful college career, Cooper declared for the 2015 NFL Draft and was selected fourth overall by the Oakland Raiders. In his rookie season, Cooper quickly made his mark, becoming the first rookie Raider to surpass 1,000 receiving yards and earning a Pro Bowl selection.
Cooper continued to be a key player for the Raiders until the middle of the 2018 season, when he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys. With the Cowboys, Cooper’s performance excelled even further. He became a favorite target for quarterback Dak Prescott and played an instrumental role in the Cowboys’ offense.
