Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper has had many reasons over the past few years to consider himself fortunate for the teammates and coaches he’s had.

And this year, they’re continuing to step up and have his back amid what appears to be a drop off in production, but is really just an offense shifting and asking Cooper to do different things.

Despite the fact that Cooper will catch more balls than he did last season (he currently has 46 catches after having 47 in all of 2013), the yardage and touchdowns have been tough to come by (470, 1). Center Jason Kelce told The Philadelphia Daily News that he’s seen Cooper mature a great deal throughout the year.
