The Dallas Cowboys trading a first-round pick to the Oakland Raiders for Amari Cooper wasn't super popular with the fans, especially with the haul they had to give back, but Ezekiel Elliot thinks he will be a game changer for the team. Cooper has been practicing with the team for over a week now, and Elliot has been really impressed with what he has seen on the practice field.
“I think it’s a great move,” Elliott said of the Cooper trade via The Star-Telegram. “He’s a special player. You can just tell he’s special by the way he runs around. He’s electrifying. He’s one of those guys that you kind of hold your breath every time he catches the ball. He’s a great add to this offense and I’m excited.”
Elliot thinks a talent like that will really open up the field for the rest of offense, and it gives Dak Prescott a big-time target that he can lean on.
“100 percent. There’s definitely a different focus in this locker room and we’re excited for this nine-game season we have coming,” Elliott said. “Amari is going to draw attention. If they don’t then they’re going to get hurt. It will definitely loosen that box up and make things a little bit easier. Teams know when they play us we’re going to run the ball. That’s always going to be the focus. But it’s going to help for sure just having Amari over there.”
Cooper only has 22 receptions for 280 yards and a touchdown but maybe the change of scenery and new quarterback is just what he needs to turn his season around.
