Cooper Kupp put together one of the best seasons ever by a wide receiver – and he continues to dominate during the postseason with another 25 catches, 386 yards and four touchdowns in the Rams’ three wins. He didn’t become the best wideout in football because of his athletic gifts, however.
He’s simply one of the smartest players in the league, which is something everyone from Sean McVay to Jalen Ramsey has said. And now, Zac Taylor is saying the exact same thing.
Taylor, who was the Rams’ assistant WRs coach in 2017 and QBs coach in 2018, spoke highly of Kupp ahead of Super Bowl LVI. He called Kupp one of the smartest players he’s been around and said the wideout used to text him at midnight with ideas about how to improve the Rams offense.
