Cooper Kupp

A Super Bowl LVI MVP and an NFL ‘triple crown’ recipient, Cooper Kupp has established himself as one of professional football’s most decorated wide receivers. His collegiate career at Eastern Washington University began impressively, setting multiple Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) records as a redshirt freshman in 2013, with 1,691 receiving yards, 21 touchdown catches, and 93 receptions, earning him the Jerry Rice Award that same year. Kupp’s consistent high performance continued, securing the Walter Payton Award in 2015 as the top offensive player in FCS. His exceptional talent led to his selection by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round as the 69th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the second-highest pick in Eastern Washington’s history.

Kupp quickly made an impact in the NFL, debuting and making his first career start for the Rams in 2017, which included his first career 100-yard game. His inaugural professional season culminated in his selection to the PFWA All-Rookie Team. Demonstrating consistent top-tier performance, Kupp set an NFL record for most receiving yards in an international NFL game in 2019. The Los Angeles Rams recognized his instrumental contributions with a significant contract extension in 2020, affirming his value to the franchise.

More recently, Kupp was nominated for the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in 2023, acknowledging his leadership and community engagement. In 2024, he further cemented his place in the record books by setting an NFL record for most receptions through his first 100 games with 625 catches. In a significant career move, Kupp concluded his tenure with the Los Angeles Rams in March 2025, subsequently signing a three-year, $45 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks, where he now continues his illustrious career.
