Even after his historic 2021 season, some still doubt that Cooper Kupp is one of the three or four best wide receivers in the NFL. Julian Edelman is not one of those people.
The former Patriots wideout was on the I Am Athlete podcast Monday and he picked his top three receivers in the NFL right now. He first named Davante Adams because of how often he gets open, and then picked Keenan Allen – highlighting his route running and releases at the line of scrimmage.
Kupp was Edelman’s third choice because even though he’s not the most athletic and explosive receiver, he can do a little bit of everything.
