I had a friend who was a die hard EWU fan, he drafted Kupp 3rd overall in his rookie season in our fantasy football league. We all thought he was trolling.

I mean this guy relearned how to run after his torn acl to be more efficient and got measurably faster. The amount of detail and dedication that this man puts together is astonishing.

Certified nonstop sports hood classic, already watched this 93 times even if it’s only been out for 8 minutes

Should have won mvp that year, if it wasn’t the qb of the year award like it is now😤

Yo shoutout to Anna. She is the real MVP

[bonzobonanza]

Kupp's then-girlfriend is a true MVP. She saved his career.

I'm a Seahawks fan and hated watching him destroy us, but also at the same time admired and respected the hell out of him and his play. Such a phenomenal player, his intense work ethic is my favorite thing about him allowing him to unlock levels of play that gets any fan excited to watch him. He reminds me of another fantastic player, one of my all time favorite players Jordy Nelson.

Jordy had a more visible college career and was noticed more but he also had that same intense work ethic that Cooper does, he has to now lol taking care of that farm and raising his livestock out there in Kansas. Just great to see Cooper put everything he worked for out on that field every Sunday, wish him and his wife nothing but the best.

Kupp's girlfriend (now wife) is the real hero of his story.

Kupp is still him, this year in 8 games healthy, he had 813 yards (101.625 ypg) 6 TDs (.75 TDs pg) and 72 receptions (9 rec pg) which comes out to a season total
1728 yds
13 TDS
153 Receptions

Thank you Anna for supporting Cooper so he could realise his dream!

I am from WA and know the Kupp family. I was told that one of Cooper's best, amazing assests is this: He has a very rare, uncanny sense of spatial awareness. Through vision and feel, he can sense who is around him. This is one of several reasons Cooper is almost always open on the play....no NFL receiver has greater separation than him....

So much love and respect for Cooper Kupp, he has earnt his new contract, his Super Bowl ring and all the good karma

[gramps]

Kupp, Welker, Edelman, these are the toughest receivers to cover because they are so quick and they have great moves. They are a nightmare for defenses.

Good things do happen to good people…congrats to him and his wife…the dedication they both displayed is amazing…I’m a Bears fan but good luck in the upcoming season Coop

[scotteckstein]

As a niners fan he absolutely carried the rams that season especially playoffs we had great coverage on him for both TDs he scored in the nfc ship hes a freak

[lightskin_cam]

The type of videos are awesome and inspiring I hope they make more

[rustyshackleford]

there is a clip of him at EWU returning a punt TD, I want to say UC Davis or Web State, the announcer says he is a prospect who lacks speed at the next level. he immediately returns thenpunt for a td, breaking away from everyone, including that teams draft worthy DB. it was hilarious

[FedorMachida]

Coop helped me win my Fantasy League. I will always be loyal to him, lol
He got hurt by a cheap shot last season. But, he will be back. He is a great player.

[georgeborgardt]

I got to see him in person while at college (destroying my school), you could tell he was special. Not the fastest, not the strongest, but the best route runner there.

I'm still irritated the Rams traded ahead of the Ravens to take him!

[Gnarkkotik_TTV]

I’m from his hometown(I went to EVHS though) Dude was a monster for Davis I was shocked when he was a 0star recruit. He ran a 4.4 and was a 4A champ and had all football state honors. His younger brother Ketner also had a tryout with the rams for LB but didn’t make it sadly. Knew he would make it big I’m a niners fan(all my family is from CA been fans since the 50’s and I was born there) but always love kupp. All this is legit. Him and Kendrick Bourne were great for ewu.
