Cooper Kupp isn’t your typical receiver. Yes, he’s one of the best at catching passes and making plays in the open field, but he also might be the best blocking receiver in the NFL. The Rams use him as a blocker fairly often, whether he’s in the slot, split out wide or attached the formation as a tight end.
That’s resulted in some tough matchups for Kupp when it comes to blocking edge rushers. He’ll either chip them on passing plays or help his tackles and tight ends on running plays, doing whatever it takes to make a rep successful.
There was one time, though, when he almost got destroyed by Khalil Mack. He told the story on the Colin Cowherd Podcast recently, describing what happened two years ago.
