The Los Angeles Rams are so impressed with wide receiver Cooper Kupp that they are willing to invest in his entire family. The team did just that Wednesday, signing Kupp’s brother, linebacker Ketner Kupp, to a contract.

Ketner Kupp will join the team as an undrafted free agent. Kupp worked out with the San Francisco 49ers in May. He did not sign with the team.

That may wind up being a blessing in disguise. Kupp now finds himself on a team that went to the Super Bowl last season. Not only that, but he gets to take on his brother during practices in camp.

That could give Kupp some extra motivation to make the team.

Ketner and Cooper played together at Eastern Washington University.

After a promising rookie season, Cooper Kupp got off to a strong start during his sophomore year before an ACL injury ended his season. In eight games, Cooper had 40 catches for 566 yards and six touchdowns. He is expected to be ready for Week 1, but will be eased into camp.

As NFL.com notes, Cooper and Ketner are not the only members of the Kupp family to play in the NFL. Their father, Craig Kupp, played one season with the Phoenix Cardinals. Their grandfather, Jake Kupp, had a 12-year career throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. He spent the majority of that career with the New Orleans Saints.

Wonder if they are farming Kupp DNA to keep the Rams strong for the next 1000 years...

Must have something to do with that red field:

Kupple of Rams: Ketner Kupp signs with Los Angeles, joining brother Cooper and three other ex-EWU standouts


By Ryan Collingwood ryanc@spokesman.com(509) 459-5473

When asked last season about the professional football prospects of his younger brother, Los Angeles Rams receiver and former Eastern Washington star Cooper Kupp saw a potential self-made NFL linebacker.

But Ketner Kupp – an All-Big Sky Conference talent who led EWU in tackles last season – needed to get his foot in the door first.

“I would never bet against Ketner,” said Cooper, a two-year Rams starter who suffered a season-ending injury last November.

On Tuesday, Cooper hugged Ketner in a back office – as seen on a video posted on the Rams’ Twitter feed – after he signed a rookie free-agent contract with the EWU-heavy organization.

“Kupple of brothers living the dream!” the Rams posted on Twitter.

Now there are two Kupps and five ex-Eagles in Los Angeles.

With the addition of Ketner, the defending NFC champions have five former EWU standouts: Starting outside linebacker Samson Ebukam, center Aaron Neary and receiver Nsimba Webster are the other three.

Webster reported to rookie camp on Monday after the Rams signed him as a free agent.

Ketner also went undrafted last month, but was invited to the San Francisco 49ers rookie camp last week.

He suited up with the 49ers last week but didn’t sign a contract.
