😉
Another interesting tid-bit is that (despite his poor 40 time) Cooper Kupp's senior bowl speed (in pads) was a north team's best of 20.7 mph velocity. Just like Jerry Rice, both display excellent game speed (but poor track speed). When they put on the pads, it's game time.
Neither has over the top athleticism or highlights, but both consistently create separation, have sure hands, and execute when they are on the field.
What they do share (aside from measurables, lack luster track speed, and eye popping college stats) is an intense dedication their craft. Hark work > talent, everytime.
If Cooper Kupp continues his blue collar work ethic in the NFL, I have no doubts he will be the best Ram's WR since Torry Holt; Or maybe even the white Jerry Rice... 😏
