Only eight other wide receivers in NFL history have accomplished what Amari Cooper just did last night.
Cooper became the ninth player ever with at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons during the Oakland Raiders’ 21-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday.
The rest of that list can be found here, though most recently it’s been A.J. Green (Bengals), Odell Beckham, Jr. (Giants), and Mike Evans (Buccaneers) — all former SEC receivers, like Cooper — to hit the outstanding feat.
Earlier this season, Cooper became the first player in league history with at least 500 receiving yards in the first six games of each of his first two years in the league, too.
He enters Week 15 of his sophomore NFL season with 145 career receptions for 2,080 yards and 10 touchdowns.
