Capturing a Super Bowl victory has a way of increasing value in the NFL.

After an impressive performance on the big stage, Cooper Kupp is receiving his flowers. Since joining the league in 2017, Kupp worked to become a top receiver.

His 40 career receiving touchdowns demonstrate the former third-rounder’s ability to make plays. When his team needed a big play in crucial situations last season, Kupp responded.

His 145 receptions ranked first in the league among active receivers last season.

Stellar route running and speed should help the Rams’ leading receiver have similar results in the upcoming season.

With quarterback Matthew Stafford under center, Los Angeles is ready to have another impressive season. Kupp’s 191 targets in 2021 were the most by any receiver on the team.
