ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Amari Cooper has enough catches, yards and touchdowns over his 10-year NFL career to satisfy his ego.What’s missing in the 30-year-old
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper catches a pass for a touchdown in front of New York Jets cornerback Brandin Echols during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024, in Orchard Park, N.Y. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Amari Cooper has enough catches, yards and touchdowns over his 10-year NFL career to satisfy his ego.
“Obviously, every receiver wants to have, you know, 10-20 catches a game. But that’s not always how the cookie crumbles,” he added. “Winning is way more important and there’s many ways to win. So absolutely no complaints from me, because that’s all I truly wanted. I mean, I’ve had it every other way and haven’t really reached the pinnacle of this sport.”
And yet for someone who’s topped 1,000 yards and 70 catches seven times, Cooper’s overall production hit career lows this season with 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns.“You have so many players that are doing their job that they can get the job done without you,” Cooper said. “So that’s kind of where my ego dies and the pride is put aside for the sake of the team.”
