r Cris Carter knows better than to a sume Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper will have an NFL career like that of Randy Avonte Maddox Jersey Mo s -- 15,000-plus NFL receiving yards is for any college junior -- but he does see some similarities between the nation's most prolific receiver and the man he once mentored with the .And he thinks Cooper could be a No. 1 overall NFL draft pick."I don't know what he's going to do in the pros, but since Ozzie Newsome, Alabama has the best wide receiver that they have had in the history of their school and his name is Amari Cooper," Carter said on the "Mike and Mike" radio show Monday, . "He is a true junior from Miami, and he is fabulous. His ability to run routes -- I met Amari when he was in high school at a football clinic and he's probably the most advanced wide receiver that I Kenneth Gainwell Jersey have seen at a young age since Randy Mo s. He has unbelievable speed, unbelievable demeanor, route running, the sky is the limit."Along with the Randy Mo s comparison, by calling Cooper the Tide's top receiver since Newsome, Carter is also putting him ahead of star . Jones starred at Alabama from 2008-2010, and was a bigger and more physical presence than Cooper. But Jones' hands weren't as reliable as Cooper's at the college level, either.Cooper has posted a school-record six consecutive 100-yard receiving games dating Jalen Hurts Jersey back to last season, and on Saturday, he made a much-anticipated head-to-head matchup with Florida All-SEC cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III : 10 catches, 201 yards, three touchdowns. He from NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah, and has even put himself in the . Cooper has Reid Sinnett Jersey 43 receptions for 655 yards and five touchdowns through four games. If he chooses to forego his final season of NCAA eligibility, he could enter next year's NFL draft."He could be the first pick in the draft as a wide receiver and he has everything from a character standpoint that you would (want) on and off Dallas Goedert Jersey the football field," Carter added.With a first-year starter at quarterback in Blake Sims, there were questions in the preseason about whether Alabama would be able to get the ball to its star receiver often enough. Much the opposite has proven to be the case, however, as Sims' development has been marked by a heavy reliance on Cooper.And if Hargreaves can't slow that connection down, there is little reason to believe anyone else will this season.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *
