Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is one of the great stories in the NFL.
The Super Bowl champion wide receiver and former Offensive Player of the Year received no college offers coming out of high school.
That is unbelievable when you think about what the former Eastern Washington star has done at the professional level.
Kupp recently chatted about his journey on X (via NFL).
“I worked really freaking hard…I’m going to go earn it again, every single day,” Kupp said of his journey and his mentality.
Kupp went from fielding no college offers to earning a role at Eastern Washington to becoming a superstar in the NFL.
He would go on to have one of the greatest seasons in NFL history during the Rams’ Super Bowl run in 2021.
He led the league in receptions (145), receiving yards (1,947), and receiving touchdowns (16).
His 1,965 scrimmage yards that season set an NFL record among wide receivers.
In his seven career seasons, Kupp has recorded four 75-catch seasons and multiple 1,000-yard seasons.
The connection that he has built with franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford is quite remarkable too.
Kupp’s story is proof that you should never give up on your dream, especially if you are willing to put in the work for it.
Heading into the 2024 season, Kupp and another All-Pro wide receiver in Puka Nacua will look to be one of the league’s best duos.
At 31 years of age, look for Kupp to still be a candidate for 1,000 yards, especially if Stafford himself is healthy.
