[@phillyeaglesforlife5127]

Yep, every year there's that one rookie or a few rookies that go off, it's a high risk high reward drafting rookies in fantasy football, I accidentally drafted Najee Harris his rookie year (my phone screen was cracked and glitching), BEST mistake ever as he would go on to be the player who won me the championship

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

[@williamkinney427]

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....

[@SixTenVisuals]

As a longtime Duck fan, I remember those 2 games vs EWU when Kupp was part of a dynamic offense with Vernon Adams and Kendrick Bourne. They raised our eyebrows

[@eeixen]

He killed us at UW. I kept thinking how did we miss this kid? Had no clue about the family connections

[@SixTenVisuals]

@@eeixen yeah, Sark missed big on Kupp. I think all eyes were on John Ross back then. And look where his status is now.

[@beastmode1]

I think UW had to score 59 point or something to beat Kupp and Vernon Adams in Husky Stadium. It was crazy. Dawgs couldn’t stop them even though they knew exactly what was coming every play.

[@xjcrossx]

I picked him up in fantasy for his rookie year. I sent a text to my buddy in the league with a picture of his stats from college. He won me the league that year. My little Cooper Kupp how I miss you being on my team lol

[@Iccibrahimproductions]

Great video nonstop sports never stop

[@jerky5815]

It was almost the opposite for me, growing up in Wisconsin back in the late 80s. I played football since 8th grade, I won the little league championship in 8th grade n State Championship in my senior year of HS. I'm Asian n only 5'5, people always say I'm too small n too short. I was a scoring machine in the games. I verbally commit to Wisconsin Badgers, then my dad passed away after the season ended while on vacation. I had to move to Detroit MI, I was homeless the moment he died. I dropped everything, now at 52, disabled n retired. I always have the "what if or what could" regrets... I'm really happy to hear stories like Cooper Kupp...

[@canton7180]

I think a lot of us do, I mean we are all capable of a lot if we just push ourselves (within reason) and circumstances don't hold us back, regret is a reminder of past mistakes and can be a strong deterrent and motivator....my exwife always thought worrying about the past (regrets) is pointless but it is not, it keeps you from making the same mistakes again and hopefully sets you on a more positive path.

[@jerky5815]

@canton7180 I was able to find a good company building fire trucks. My wife n I have 3 girls n 1 boy, we owned a house, have nice cars like everyone else. I had a stroke n nobody would help us, even the state of Wisconsin give me a hard time for 2 years b4 they give me my disability. By then I've lost pretty much everything. I coulda had free college educations from Madison. Sometimes I'm just like WTF!

[@AndromedaGT]

this video also explains why cooper kupp is the best wr in the league, he doesn't have the crazy abilities like tyreek hill with his speed, but he puts up the numbers that make him the best

[@Shakester71]

People today put way too much value in physical attributes. How fast someone can run. How big is he? How strong is he? What’s his vertical jump. That’s why so many of these terrible QBs are getting drafted as high as they are. Because they’re fast, have a great arm or can run the ball. Those things have zero to do with being a great NFL QB. That’s why Kupp was overlooked throughout 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.
