Amari Cooper vs Marcus Peters will be a new rivalry within the old rivalry that is the Oakland Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs.

Cooper was considered the best receiver coming out in the 2015 NFL Draft and hasn’t disappointed. Peters was considered the best corner of that draft but will finish behind Ronald Darby in that regard. However, he is coming along and will be a good-to-great corner in the NFL for years to come.

Their positions and the year they came out in the NFL Draft is enough to make the two rivals. But Cooper going to the Raiders and Peters going to the Chiefs intensifies this matchup that much more. This matchup could determine the winner of this rivalry over the next 10-plus years, starting Sunday.
