WR Kupp puts up good showing in NFL debut

LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 10: Wide receiver Cooper Kupp #18 of the Los Angeles Rams catches a pass for a touchdown in front of free safety T.J. Green #32 of the Indianapolis Colts in the second quarter at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on September 10, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
  • The Los Angeles Rams were without a first-round pick in the 2017 draft, but they may have gotten some of that value back with the selections of tight end Gerald Everett (second round) and WR Cooper Kupp (third) in subsequent rounds.
  • Kupp, the rookie wide receiver from Eastern Washington, impressed in his debut, catching four of six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. He also forced a missed tackle on his way to earning a 79.4 receiving gradeon the day. His overall grade of 75.7 would have been higher had he not committed a penalty and dropped a pass.
  • Kupp lined up all over the field against the Colts, spending 26 snaps in the slot and 16 on the outside. 52 of his 76 receiving yards came on his three targets from the slot, good for 3.71 yards per route run.

They do make plays like that......its just we finally have one like that!! lol.

In all seriousness, I do not recall seeing a rookie as polished as Kupp since...AJ Greene maybe? Lots of guys have greater physical gifts coming into the league, but it is rare as hell to see a guy look that mature right off the bat.

Kupp's Grandfather and Father both played in the NFL plus his father was a coach. He's got a great football mind and it shows.

I'm sick of players that drop open passes.

And that one he dropped he was open with a nice seam, would have padded his stats for the day very nicely had he reeled that one in.

one of the coolest moments of the entire off season was getting that comment on tape.

Very unlikely he'll lead the league in receptions the way McVay spreads the ball around btw. Should be around that 60-70 reception range though which would be an oustanding total for a rook.

As much as I'd love that Kupp can be our "Antonio Brown" like LT predicted, that's a tad bit of an over-reaction Monday

Reminds me a little of a young Fitzgerald that way. Always knew where to be, had a great feel for angles and coverage etc. Oh, and they both caught just about everything thrown their way.
