When the Rams drafted Cooper Kupp back in 2017, they clearly believed in his ability. The former FCS standout was a proven producer for the Eastern Washington Swoops and looked like a natural fit for the NFL.
Six years later, Kupp surpassed those initial expectations and much more. Thanks to a 145-catch, 1,947-yard, 16-touchdown 2021 season, Kupp made his first Pro Bowl and notched his first First-Team All-Pro selection. If that wasn’t enough, he became only the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to win the receiving triple crown (catches, yards, touchdowns).
Oh but there’s more. Eventually — thanks in large part to a game-winning touchdown — Kupp was named Super Bowl 56 MVP.
