Rams WR Cooper Kupp on Impact Of His Wife on His NFL Career: “There’s No Doubt In My Mind, I Would Not Be Where I am Today Without Her….”

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp does indeed have a special lady looking out for him. The special lady, Anna Croskrey, supported her husband from a SoFi Stadium suite as he aided the Rams to beat the Buccaneers. Anna and her sacrifices were really a huge part of the success that Cooper is enjoying with the Rams.

While Cooper kept honing his craft at football and studying, Anna worked as a bartender to provide for them both. While opening up to ESPN about his beginnings, he states, “Without a doubt, there’s no doubt in my mind, not only would I not be here where I am today without her or accomplishing the things that I would be doing. I really believe I may not be in this – I may not be in the NFL if it wasn’t for her and what she has inspired in me and pushed me to do.”

Cooper Kupp beating the odds

Kupp wasn’t at all a special prospect in 2017 and, as a third-round pick, expectations were low. He ended up becoming a breakout star in 2021 with the Rams justifying their faith in him. Kupp also earned a unanimous All-Pro selection and also earned his first Pro Bowl honor. He was also one of the top receivers in the NFL while leading the league in three key positional statistics.

While in his career, he averaged close to 900 yards, but this season he did rake in 1,947 receiving yards. He also did record 145 receptions with 16 touchdowns. But moving beyond his stats, the player made clutch plays with QB Matthew Stafford to propel them to the NFC Championship game. But his elite playing standard does also stem from his wife’s tendency to demand excellence.

Ever since their humble beginnings to the day they achieved something, they have always been a team. They together were able to face any challenge and embody the true meaning of teamwork. The work put in to ensure obtaining a version of Cooper Kupp who can make it in the NFL was real. It is up to Rams WR Cooper Kupp to now make the Cooper-Anna story into a famous fairytale with a beautiful ending.
