The Facts: Cooper possesses the natural talents that could help transform the Raiders' passing offense from a smorgasbord of faulty short threats and singles hitters to one with a playmaker boasting the ability to hit a home run at any moment. Second-year quarterback Derek Carr sang high praise about his rookie target on Tuesday. "(Cooper) is ridiculous in and out of his breaks," said Carr. "His style of play is perfect for this league. He's good at getting on toes and creating separation. He's good at when the ball is in his hands making those fast-twitch movements to make a guy go one way so he can take it to the house. It's just little things that honestly people don't even notice."
Diehards Line:
At 6-foot-1, the No. 4 overall pick has the size, speed and route-running ability to make an instant impact on the Raiders' offense and shove his name atop the discussion for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Earlier this offseason, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported, per Alabama sources, that they believe Cooper was the most NFL-ready receiver the school has ever produced -- including Julio Jones. Apparently Carr is a believer. "I think the sky's the limit for him, obviously," Carr said. "Hopefully I just get the ball into his hands so he can make the plays."
