Amari Cooper (born June 17, 1994) is an American professional football wide receiver. He played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide, winning the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver and earning unanimous All-American honors in 2014. He was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft.
After successful rookie and sophomore seasons that included back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns and two Pro Bowl appearances, Cooper struggled in his third season with the Raiders, totaling just 680 yards. Midway through the 2018 season, he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys and his play began to flourish again, including a 217-yard performance, and as a result, was voted to the third Pro Bowl of his career. Cooper also had successive 1,000 yard seasons in 2019 and 2020, making the Pro Bowl in 2019. In 2022, Cooper was traded to the Cleveland Browns. He had 1,000-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023, becoming the first Browns wide receiver in team history with multiple 1,000-yard seasons. The Browns traded Cooper to the Buffalo Bills midway through the 2024 season.
