When it’s all said and done, Jameis Winston and Amari Cooper will likely have long, fruitful careers in the NFL that will include playoff appearances and possibly a Super Bowl ring. It all has to start somewhere, and both players ended their rookie seasons with significant milestones reach on Sunday.

If both these teams can build around their young stars, we may see a Winston-Cooper battle in the Super Bowl not too long from now.
