The Facts: Cooper made an excellent first impression on the NFL. He exceeded 100 yards in two of his first three games. He finished with 1,070, becoming the first Raider since 2005 to reach four digits in receiving yards. But last year's No. 4 overall pick wasn't perfect. According to Pro Football Focus, he led the NFL with 20 dropped passes in 2015, and finished the season slow due to a debilitating foot injury that nearly got him shut down. The frustrating end seems to have motivated Cooper this offseason. He's working through the spring with vigor, and has shown a more outgoing side during these OTA sessions. It's a sign that someone who graduated high school in 2012 is growing up fast. "I always joked around last year that three years ago, he was in seventh period chemistry," QB Derek Carr said. "He's a young guy, and he was just learning his way around but going to the Pro Bowl while doing it."

Diehards Line:Cooper entered December with 58 catches and 851 yards, which left him on track for 79 catches and more than 1,200 yards if he kept that pace up through the final five games of the season. GM Manager Reggie McKenzie said that the team considered "shutting down" Cooper in the final month of the season because of his foot. ... Paired with a solid young QB in Carr and working opposite Michael Crabtree, none of us should expect regression in Cooper's second season. Indeed, the current reporting suggests a player ready to do more.
