Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper will be headed to Indianapolis this week to showcase his talents in front of all 32 NFL teams at the NFL Scouting Combine. 

Scouts and coaches already think highly of Alabama's all-time leading receiver. He's projected to go in the top 10 of the 2015 NFL Draft and will likely be the first player taken at his position. His unique combination of route running, work ethic, and knowledge of the position make him as NFL-ready as they come.

But don't assume that Cooper isn't as physical as some of the best wide receivers in the game. Beyond that shy demeanor and humble personality is a player with the drive of an gladiator. You might be surprised to find out that his strength is comparable as well.

Cooper posted this video to Instagram as he works out ahead of the Combine, and there's no question he's taken to Scott Cochran's weight program.Look at this picture from high school and you'll see he's come a long way in just over three years.
