Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper might have broken a team record in Week 16, but he has bigger plans for the future.

A day after he went off for 11 catches and 265 receiving yards with two touchdowns, Cooper shared that he can break an NFL record. The Pro Bowl-level wide receiver took to Instagram to share.

There are some very elite names on the above list that Cooper is now a part of. He will need two more games of at least 200 receiving yards to pass Calvin Johnson for the most in NFL history.

If it weren’t for the Browns dialing it back and resting Cooper a bit when they got a comfortable lead, he very well was heading for 300 receiving yards. If you were in Houston at the game, it’s a performance that you will remember forever and tell your grandkids about.

With the chemistry that Joe Flacco has quickly built with Cooper, don’t be surprised if he pops off again this season for another huge game over the next couple of weeks.

At 29 years old, Cooper has the most yards in a season he’s ever had this year (1,250). It looks like the elite route runner is getting better with age and that could bode well for Cleveland, as well as this record.
