Amari Cooper Can Reach Another Level With Deshaun Watson Healthy

Amari Cooper has become a fan favorite in Cleveland over his year and a half as a Brown. All it took was a fifth-round pick for Andrew Berry to land the former Cowboys wideout.

In his time in Cleveland, Cooper has assembled one heck of a resume. Having played in 25 games, he's caught 113 passes for 1,777 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has done this while catching passes from four different quarterbacks - Jacoby Brissett, Deshaun Watson, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and PJ Walker.

It is safe to say that Cooper makes the most of any opportunity when he straps it up and takes the field.

Last season he set a career high in touchdowns with nine and a second-best of his career in yards with 1,160. This year, he is currently on pace for career-best 1,200 yards receiving.

The ninth-year veteran looks as good as ever and could really take things up another notch if he gets some consistent quarterback play form Deshaun Watson, who returned from a shoulder injury last week. Coming off of his five-catch, 159 yard, one touchdown day against Arizona, the connection between Watson and Cooper has already been put on display.

In that last two weeks against Seattle and Arizona, Coop has collected 11 catches on 16 targets for one touchdown and 228 yards. That yardage is good for second in the NFL over that span.

In the four games with Watson at quarterback, he has 382 yards on 22 catches and two scores. If he was able to get a full season with that production he'd be on pace for a 1,500-yard, eight-touchdown season. Elite stuff when No. 4 and No. 2 are on the field together.

With the evidence we have of Watson and Cooper playing together, the 29-year-old is just getting started and could be key in leading this Browns to another playoff appearance.
