Brandin Cooks exceeded all expectations by posting career-bests in receptions, yards and touchdowns during the 2015 NFL season. The New Orleans Saints and former Oregon State wide receiver will enter the team's 2016 camp as the No. 1 receiver and carry high expectations.

Nick Underhill, the Saints beat writer for the New Orleans Advocate, was asked how many yards will Cooks produce in 2016. Underhill set the bar fairly high.

"I would set the floor at 1,200 yards," Underhill wrote. "I think he could even flirt with 1,500 if he has a couple big games."

Cooks caught 84 passes for 1,138 yards and nine touchdowns, leading the Saints in each category in 2015. Cooks more than doubled his receiving yards and tripled his touchdown receptions compared to his rookie season in 2014.

Cooks is now the unquestioned number one option for quarterback Drew Brees after the Saints released receiver Marques Colston, the team's all-time leader in receptions yards and touchdown catches. The Saints will continue to emphasize the passing game, and Cooks will likely have the opportunity to meet or exceed Hill's prediction.
