Derek Carr: 'Amari Cooper already one of the best'

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has labelled rookie Amari Cooper as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.

Cooper scored a 52-yard touchdown from Carr's pass during the Raiders' 37-29 win at the San Diego Chargers.

"He's amazing, he's awesome and he's one of the best in this league," Carr told reporters.

"Obviously because he's a rookie and hasn't done it for a certain amount of time people won't say that but he's one of the best."

Cooper has made 33 receptions and scored three touchdowns so far this season.
