Question

With Amari Cooper traded a second time, he’ll be playing for his third different team. Who are the only other wide receivers selected with top-5 overall picks who played for even more teams in their first eight seasons in the pros? Two of the players played their college ball at the same school but are no longer in the league. The other is an active player.

Answer

Two former Michigan receivers played for five different teams in their first eight seasons: Braylon Edwards and Desmond Howard. (Howard actually had two separate stints with the Packers). Howard was the 4th pick of the 1992 draft, while Edwards was selected 3rd by the Browns in 2005. Sammy Watkins was the 4th pick of the draft the year before Cooper came in, and Watkins has played for four teams in his first eight seasons.
