Oh. My. Word.
For real though.
This is one of the best catches we have seen all season, for many reasons.
Former Alabama and current Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has quickly become of the Cowboys go-to wide receivers this reason, and it is plays like this that’s the reason why.
I mean, c’mon.
First off, his footwork and speed are impeciable.
Cooper always seems to find a way to create separation from himself and the defender, every single time.
Not only that, but it’s also Cooper’s determination and focus that helps him create big plays like this. He very rarely gives up on plays and is able to come up with the ball.
Just like this 58 yard one handed catch!
Are you kidding, @AmariCooper9?
58 yards. 😳

Amari Cooper was drafted by the Oakland Raiders as the No. 4 overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft where he played from 2015-2018.
In 2018, the Raiders traded Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys.
In 2020, he signed a a five-year contract extension with the Cowboys worth $100 million, which featured $60 million guaranteed.
In his NFL Career, he has recorded an astonishing 5,278 receiving yards, 34 touchdowns.
Also, as a Raider, he was the first rookie to reach the 1,000-yard receiving mark and also had the most receiving yards in a season by a rookie with 1,070 yards.
