[@JoshuaA25]

This kids energy is contagious!

[@GKA11111]

Hell yeah it is

[@justhewaves]

Puka is all class and genuinely a good human! So damn lucky to have him in LA. It's hilarious that catching wasn't his strength early on. Some of the catches that he made this year were next to impossible and reminiscent of Dallas Clark. GO RAMS!

[@daplayer25]

Niner fan here, dudes a beast 🤦‍♂️🔥great player

[@raymondcisneros4518]

Rams fan here and Fred Warner is one of my favorite linebackers if not my favorite in the NFL him, Roquan Smith and B Wags are them! I can't even throw my dude Ernest Jones in there but I feel like he's going to make a name for himself this year. I follow the Warner House on KZbin and he liked and commented back the dude is all class! if you guys get this dub I will be happy for you guys but at the end of the day I can't root for you guys although part of me does not want to see Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift again we cannot make them a dynasty but at the end of the day it still is f the 49ers and I know you feel the same way about the Rams LOL good luck this weekend horns up

[@scottprewitt4712]

Love this kid, what a player and personality!

[@DetroitLions23]

Before they came to Ford Field I was watching all of his highlights, but seeing him live in person is something else. The kid finds holes in the defense and breaks tackles like no other receiver I have ever seen. Future is very bright. His humility is also off the charts. Great kid and even a better person.

[@bobjacksob]

He is what is right in this world.

[@alexamerling79]

This kid is a beast

[@prateshramjohn]

I love Puka, his energy is contagious and I'm not even a Rams fan. Credit to their GM for rebuilding so quickly without "them picks".

[@arthernandez1363]

PUKA NACUA OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 2023-2024🏆 GO RAMS!🐐

[@DaSauceSaini]

One of my favorite Rams of all time already. love you Puka !

[@geneseddon2460]

Should be the Rookie of the Year

[@MJC1891]

Thank you for the great season puka and the RAMS. I went into this season thinking I would be happy with 4-5 wins. Shit you guys blew us away. My dad was a life long RAMS fan he would be so happy to see you playing like this and the season you had THANK YOU 🙏🏽

[@GURU714_OC]

Puka and Kupp going to tear it up next season! Stafford getting one more ring

[@cameron9643]

His brother Kai was tough as nails and my all time college favorite player.

[@rungy8214]

Rams are going to the Superbowl next year, and they are winning it! Sorry Cheetah, Mr. Nacua is A freaking numero Uno !!!! The Rams started this year with a 70% new roster...do you know who took them to the playoffs?? Lemme give you a hint....he is being interviewed in this pod cast...

[@malcolmxbox]

If he continues his level of play, Puka Nacua has the personality to become a huge star in the LA market.

[@justicestyles]

Puka is my favorite NFL player … best WR in the league … bless his parents and family

[@ramsfan709]

Glad he's a ram

[@lukemaunder4839]

everyone is jealous, anyone says otherwise is lying

[@nfcwestbest9974]

I love how these two hated on him and now they love him hilarious

[@turneryoung905]

Crazy to think he was at UDUB with Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, and Jalynn Polk.

[@S62Uce]

LFG Uce! excited to see this guy play in the future!

[@nabeelhussain3556]

❤ you Puka !!

[@billtyree6876]

This kid is great for the NFL

[@jasonjanisewski78]

Puka is quite good. It is interesting to note though how Stafford specifically seems to lock in on specific receivers rather than really spreading it around. He has made both Kupp and Puka look all world. He is like Mike Dantoni with PGs.

[@reynaldomacahilas3072]

Congratulations Puka on a great year hope to see even more great years

[@monaluna6428]

I knew he was gonna be awesome when I seen him in post season let's go rams ❤😊

[@dromesb8319]

He won me some fantasy football games. Big up to Puka.

This kid is gonna be rich!!!

[@chrissnape9537]

I hate he plays for the Rams, as I am a Hawks fan. I do admire his play !

[@andrerodriguez966]

As Rams fan we shared Wagner so love hate thing ? Lol😂

Likeable young guy....yeah I'm old

[@954ram7]

PUKKKAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[@CHARISMA7171]

Nice interview kid

[@oker59]

I didn't check out the majority of Wr's prospects last year(I use to be an ultra draft nik . I use t watch these players go from high school all star games to the draft. I don't check out all the prospects like I use to). I went and checked out Puka about mid-season I could see it(his talent). I would have been excited about him in the draft if I had checked him out(i'd look for the guys nobody is talking about on top of the draft). I can understand a little bit why he fell; he didn't have much stats. But, like I said, I could see a lot of things I liked in the highlights when I checked out his highlights after about midseason. I would have noted him had I bothered to check out all the prospects like I use to.

[@tuttlespeachtree3413]

"The Happy People of Samoa"

[@bobjacksob]

If the world were fair, the entire NFL would be polynesian.

[@toddbeef1569]

Why does Florio look like he saw a ghost in the middle of the interview?

[@buddysteele7624]

It’s so wild how out of place Florio is with all these athletes and former athletes. He’s just always on the outside looking in to Simms chopping it up w the guest and you can see Florio forcing himself in. He knows nothing about football and I’m sure everyone just recognizes him as a square

[@FOKESIMTHATDUDE]

He does it for pops, he’s a dog..

[@TheCountofToulouse]

He got ROBBED for rookie of the year. A 5th round pick doing ALL of that and you give the award to a STAT padder? Stroud will be a good QB in the league but like the Watson illusion, it all washes off eventually. Note that Stafford is the common factor in WR's have EPIC seasons, never gets any credit from the DEI media.

[@mind_haze2414]

When did you know you had a talent to catch things, Lmao 😂 great question Mike…. 🤡

[@pisathongsonlone3935]

He broke record and he's only a runner up? I think it should be automatic

[@rungy8214]

OH SNAP!!! HOLD THE PHONE!!! PUKA NACUA + PFT + UNBUTTONED!!! STOP EVERYTHING....IMMEDIATELY!!!!

[@Biz613]

This kid is a superstar
