Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears like he’s very satisfied with the trade for former Alabama WR Amari Cooper.

Cooper previously played for the Raiders before the Cowboys traded for him, and Jones is already comparing his new offensive toy to Hall of Fame pass catcher Michael Irvin, along with comparing RB Zeke Elliott to Emmitt Smith.

“Well, I think I’m going to go back to Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin. Emmitt had a lot of his runs where he wasn’t touched for the first three or four yards,” Jones said Wednesday morning on the NFL Network. “It’s because [Quarterback Troy] Aikman and Irvin had them backed off, and they knew if they didn’t stay back then Aikman, Irvin and [Tight end Jay] Novacek would take them right down the field. Well, Cooper has done that for us. We got to keep them back off. When we do, then Zeke can basically have the kind of days we want him to have as a running back. So it’s a balance thing. It always has been.”

Cooper has recorded just 14 catches for 169 yards in his young Cowboys career.

The former Alabama receiver is certainly plenty talented, and the Cowboys may be the team that he can take his game to another level.
