Years ago, when coming out of high school, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had no college scholarship offers after his season ended. He was mostly incognito to big-time football. He was an afterthought.
He’d go on to Eastern Washington. Not exactly an SEC football factory. His journey is often talked about in terms that aren’t always accurate. He’s been described as scrappy and gritty, when in actuality he’s physically talented and fast. He’s often viewed as a blue-collar worker when he’s truly a thoroughbred.
Maybe now, maybe that he dominated a talented Cincinnati Bengals defense, from start to finish, but especially the finish, and was named the MVP Sunday night, he’ll be seen as he truly is: one of the most dominant receivers of his generation. Not a flash in the pan, but The Flash. Not gritty and witty but slick and dangerous.
