Cowboys' Cobb: Amari Cooper is 'Kawhi Leonard of the NFL'

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb agrees with the comparison some have made between teammate Amari Cooper and Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard.

As Cobb said on Friday, Cooper and Leonard are both quiet and let their play do the talking.

"He's Kawhi Leonard of the NFL," Cobb told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. "When it comes to his game, he's a quiet assassin. He makes the plays and just goes about it. … That's who he is. That's his personality."

Cooper has spoken about the comparison before, and the wideout agrees that he and Leonard are cut from a similar cloth.

"... I can see it," the three-time Pro Bowler said in July, according to Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I saw that after he won a championship. He was elated. He kinda let his emotions show a little bit more. Because only then was he satisfied. It didn't matter to him what he was accomplishing during the regular season, or during the playoffs, you can tell he was not content with that until he got the whole job done. From that standpoint, we are related."

Through nine games this season, Cooper has recorded 53 receptions for 848 yards and seven touchdowns.
