Amari Cooper failed to top 20 receiving yards in three of his last four games during his rookie season.

Cooper dealt with a foot injury that nearly led the Oakland Raiders to shut him down. He still managed to become the first rookie in franchise history to record 1,000 receiving yards.

Cooper said he never bothered to watch his rookie-year game tape because "I really wasn't myself."

"I think it affected everything. Me being a receiver, it affected my whole game," he explained of the injury. "Talk about a foot injury, you can't release how you want to, you can't come out of your breaks how you want to. You can only get open in two ways, off of the line or out of your breaks.

"So it really affected my game, but I was mentally tough and I fought through it."
