Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp has had the kind of season that has made every NFL fan sit up and take notice. Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams believed in the Rams wideout Kupp when he was only beginning to show his quality. The Packers wideout himself has quietly been enjoying a great individual season and knew his greatness on the field.
Adams had taken to Twitter in November in 2020 to give Kupp his flowers after a good outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He described him as the ‘most underrated’ wideout in that season. Kupp seems to have built upon that confidence from his fellow NFL colleagues. The results of his confidence are for all to see in 2021.

A victory that saw both Kupp and his team face challenges in the form of injury to WR Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ’s injury meant the offense only had Kupp as Stafford‘s outlet pass option. He was the player who balled out and gained valuable yards. This allowed Stafford to throw the decisive TD pass to him before the end.
