@@plserino You're wrong. My father had season tickets to the Rams the entire time they were in Southern California. I still remember going to Super Bowl XIV in Pasadena. The Steelers scored two touchdowns in the last 4 minutes of the game to beat the Rams. My father vomited at home and was sick for days. We also had season tickets to the Raiders the entire time they were in Southern California. And when both teams had a home game on the same Sunday, my family always went to the Rams game. And even when the Rams went to St. Louis, my family cheered for them.

I love Cooper Kupp. He never not once lost faith in his capabilities and now he's a Super Bowl Champion and an MVP. How's that for a scrawny kid overlooked by top college schools? Weird that Scouts and Agents didn't see a future NFL stand-out, and they call themselves expert? Tsk Tsk Tsk. Big mistake.

I heard the Rams were super happy when he posted a really high 40 yard time, so they could get him in the third round. As a Rams fan I was pleasantly surprised how good he was his rookie year, and he's only continued to get better and now dominate.

Cooper Kupp Was Born To Become A NFL Champion For LA Rams Football Champion.

Im a life long Rams fan. I immediately became a big Cooper Kupp fan this man has been burning the the house down since week one of the 2017. From the first time I saw him play it was on man. Wjen I heard Torry Holt was working with him before the 2021 season I knew we were in for a Cooper Kupp explosion.

Coach McVay of the Rams is undersized too so that’s why he gave Kupp a chance. Robert Woods is the same size but he got a chance at USC which featured small but fast receivers. He helped mentor Kupp with the Rams. Now the truth is that with the LA Rams he was hurt for 3 years. We lost the first Super Bowl because Goff relied on him so much and he wasn’t there. Goff got traded before Kupp was strong enough to make it through an NFL season. Stafford would not hAve won a Super Bowl without him. That was his first time making it through an NFL season. Now He’s a football treasure.

Great doc. The obsession with "ideal body type" or "measurables" as they called, probably hurts coaches/teams, over time. Also, Kupp went about it the right way. "If I'm not going to out jump, or out run someone, I'll just be perfect at everything else". There are guys that run a 4.3 that are out of a job after a couple years, in the NFL because they can't run a great route/get open. Meanwhile, Jerry Rice ran a 4.7. Numbers aren't everything.

Was lucky to be a season ticket holder for Eastern and got to witness Cooper’s greatness. It’s also no wonder why all the FBS college programs are terrible when they a have the best prospect in the Pacific Northwest go completely unrecruited. It was joy watching him absolutely destroy their defenses and show exactly why all their programs suck. UW should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

Unlikely legend? His grandfather and father were both NFL players. His genetic line suggests that it was highly probable that he would follow in their footsteps and be elite.
