Amari Cooper: 2015 NFL Combine Results, Highlights and Twitter Reaction
Amari Cooper took to the Lucas Oil Stadium field on Saturday with hope of further solidifying himself as the top wide receiver in the 2015 draft class. The result was a solid overall showing by the Alabama product at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Cooper was a Heisman Trophy finalist after making 124 catches for over 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns in his final season with the Tide. Now he's set his standards sky high as he prepares to make the jump to the next level, as noted by Michael Casagrande of AL.com.
"Well, I certainly want to be the best receiver, not just in this class, but overall wherever I go," Cooper said. "And I'm going to work hard to try to be that."

Here are some highlights from the workout:
Bleacher Report's Matt Bowen believes his efforts in the 40-yard dash, the most discussed event of the combine, were good enough based on his other skills:

Josina Anderson of ESPN still sees room for him to improve his initial burst:
Chris Sprow of ESPN thinks quieting the talk about his pure speed should go a long way in stabilizing Cooper's status as a top prospect:
After the 40, he continued the impress in the receiving drills.
Former NFL head coach and current NFL Network analyst Brian Billick was impressed with how easy the wideout made things look:

All told, the combine performance may not have been enough to completely lock Cooper into the No. 1 wide receiver slot. It was another step in the right direction, though. He ran well and then backed it up with some rock-solid work in the catching drills.
Kevin White and DeVante Parker figure to pose a challenge right up to the end. Yet, as long as the Alabama star continues to perform like he did on Saturday, he should be in great shape. Getting picked within the top five is a realistic possibility.
