The Facts: The best part about being a universally-beloved Hall of Fame player is that your interview hyperbole rarely gets checked. People are just happy to be speaking with you. And while we're not sure what the future holds for Cooper, it might just be a little too soon for this, courtesy of legendary wideout Jerry Rice. "They have their new Tim Brown," Rice told the Raiders' web site.

Diehards Line: He added: "I think with Cooper, he's very much like Tim Brown. Very explosive, got speed to burn." Although the speed of the game has certainly come a long way since Brown's first NFL season back in 1988, Brown's speed was revolutionary to the position. He also played in 17 NFL seasons and finished sixth on the NFL's all-time receiving yards list. It should be noted that Brown himself offered an optimistic but more realistic assessment of Cooper: Strong contributor from Day 1. Still, as Derek Carr suggested, the sky is the limit for Cooper. Just don't expect him to hit the ceiling as a rookie.
