The Dallas Cowboys concluded their 2021 NFL campaign on a dismal note. In his first season in charge as head coach in Texas, coach Mike McCarthy led America’s team to a third-placed finish above fierce rivals, Philadelphia Eagles. But with the return of Dak Prescott, things will hopefully be different for the Cowboys in 2021.

One player to keep an eye out for in the coming months is star wide receiver, Amari Cooper. The veteran NFL wideout along with teammate Michael Gallup made headlines in 2019 with a few eye-catching displays for the Dallas-based franchise. The arrival of rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb last year propelled the Cowboys to a top tier wide receiver outfit. But they couldn’t convert their on-paper dominance to tangible results.

Speaking to the media ahead of Week 1, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper tipped himself and his teammates to have a breakthrough campaign in the coming months.

“There’s a difference between thinking you’re the best and actually going out there and proving it. Do I think I’m the best? Yes. Have I proven it? I wouldn’t say I have.”
“There are guys who have actually put up some great numbers, they’ve taken advantage of their opportunities and stuff like that,” he said. “I’m just still trying to take advantage of my opportunities and trying to put up those numbers to lead the league in yards, touchdowns, all across the board really,” he said via the team’s official website.
Cooper’s last season with the Cowboys was forgettable at best. He finished the campaign with 92 passes for 1,114 yards playing with four different quarterbacks. He will look to redeem himself this year.
