My Take
Cooper Kupp is one of those guys who makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about NFL draft evaluation. Nobody wanted him — a small-school kid out of Eastern Washington who slid to the third round in 2017 — and he turned into arguably the most complete receiver of his era. His 2021 season was genuinely historic: he led the league in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, won Offensive Player of the Year, then capped it with a Super Bowl MVP where he caught the game-winning touchdown. The route running is surgical, the hands are automatic, and he plays with a relentless motor that big-school guys who got handed everything simply don't have. Injury setbacks since then have been frustrating to watch, but his peak was as good as any receiver I've seen in the modern NFL.
