II: Rams may boast the best WR duo in the NFL
Forget the NFL preseason rankings that slot rookies in among the best players the NFL has to offer, long before they take a single NFL snap. The LA Rams boasts two elite receivers in Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Not because I say so. But because both Rams wide receivers have placed their names in lofty places in the NFL All-Time Receiver Record books in the past three seasons.
The NFL markets fresh faces to bolster their merchandise sales. But let's not kid ourselves and have the honest conversation. If veteran Cooper Kupp in healthy enough to play all 17 games in 2024, and if Puka Nacua can be even more productive in his second season, this pair of NFL wide receivers are not only on track for 1000+ yard seasons apiece, but could combine for 2500+ receiving yards in 2024.
And perhaps even combine for 3000+ receiving yards.
While we continue to see plenty of holdouts and trash-talking from rookies and veterans alike, the Rams wide receivers simply focus on improving their game, letting their on-field production do the talking for them, and remaining humble. I'm not the only one to notice, as Rams HC Sean McVay cites those very traits when praising WR Puka Nacua in a recent press conference.

There is lots to love whenever the team turns to the passing game. And that is all thanks to this veteran:
