ESPN.com's 2014 All-America Team
Amari Cooper
Wide receiver | AlabamaLane Kiffin inherited a bunch of weapons when he became Alabama's offensive coordinator this past offseason, but no player presented the same kind of opportunity as Cooper. Though the former SEC All-Freshman selection didn't have a particularly strong sophomore campaign in 2013, he did show signs of life late, healing up in time to dominate Auburn's secondary in the Iron Bowl. So Kiffin circled Cooper on the roster this summer and dreamed up ways to get him the football, whether it was on bubble screens, pick plays or the occasional reverse. What it yielded was a Heisman Trophy-worthy season in which Cooper broke Alabama and SEC records for receptions with 115. -- Alex Scarborough
