Oh, just a Kupple of NFL awards
We know just how valuable wide receiver Cooper Kupp was to the LA Rams offense, and for that matter, to the team as a whole, in the 2021 NFL season. While you may not need the reminder of just how good his season truly was, it’s just too much fun to do. So let’s revisit one of the most incredible single seasons by any NFL player in this millennium.
For starters, he won the NFC Offensive Player of the Year. As if that didn’t punctuate his 2021 NFL season with an exclamation point…
The recognition keeps coming!

He was named the MVP of Super Bowl LVI.
What kind of a season did the guy put together? Well, he set the Rams All-Time Franchise Single-Season record for receptions and receiving yards. He fell just one shy of the record for receiving touchdowns by one. He was the 2021 NFL receiver triple-crown winner: Meaning he topped all other receivers in the regular season with receptions (145), yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16). Here’s what that all looks like in summary form.
