Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has hailed the work ethic of rookie wide receiver Amari Cooper in his side's off-season practices.
The Raiders selected the 21-year-old with the fourth overall pick in the 2015 Draft, and Carr has revealed that he has been taken aback by his commitment during their practice sessions.
"His work ethic is second to none," Carr told the club's official website. "I was throwing with him as soon as mini-camp was over so we can get more reps in, and our plan was to throw a couple more times, but he texted me that night.
"He said, 'Hey, let's throw at least three more times. I need to get this one route right.' Just him telling me that kind of stuff, it blew my mind."
Cooper recorded 124 receptions for 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns in his final season at the Alabama Crimson Tide in the college game.
