I’m a little bit spoiled as a big USC fan. I’ve gotten to see really great receivers play during college: Marqise Lee, Robert Woods, Damien Williams and now Nelson Agholor.
But Amari Cooper is just on another level.
Against Tennessee, Cooper racked up 224 receiving yards and two scores, leading Alabama in a 34-20 victory.
With Percy Harvin now gone to the New York Jets, the Seahawks would be able to use Cooper immediately in a Sammy Watkins kind of role in Buffalo.
The Seahawks struggles are at least partly at fault of the lack of weapons around Russell Wilson. A weapon like Cooper would catapult the Seahawks right into the thick of the Super Bowl race.
