Cooper Kupp is an absolute technician when it comes to running routes. It’s how he wins against bigger and faster defenders. He creates so much separation, to the point where the cornerback can’t do much but hope to bring him down after the catch.
During Wednesday’s joint practice with the Bengals, Kupp hit cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, a sixth-year veteran, with a route he’s never seen before. Having trained with Kupp in the past, the two are very familiar with each other. But this was something Awuzie hadn’t come across.
