Amari Cooper's production has taken a drastic hit this season, but the Oakland Raiders wideout isn't getting frustrated.
"I’m just being me, man," Cooper said, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. "I like to play well so, hopefully, in this next game, I’ll have a few catches and kind of get back on (track)."
Cooper has been plagued by drops through five weeks, recording only four catches over the last three games.
The third-year receiver has reached the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons - posting more than 1,000 yards receiving in both campaigns - so his struggles are puzzling to say the least.
"It’s one of them things," Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. "He’s ran some really good routes, to be honest. He’s ran some good routes. He’s obviously put some on the ground that he’s wanted back. I’ve missed him a couple of times. I think everyone on our team is a little frustrated at something ... I think if we can go out there and cut it loose and just trust what we have and what God gave us, I think we’ll be better going forward."
Despite things not going well, Cooper doesn't plan to make any drastic changes to his game.
"That’s how I look at it," he said. "Just keep being me, just keep doing me, stay true to who I am and the ball will find me."
