Cooper Kupp, a wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, was born on June 15, 1993. The team drafted him as the 69th pick in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He went to Davis High School, then used to play basketball and football. He was named for the first-team 4A All-State honors as a defensive back and an honorable mention as a wide receiver. Graduating in 2012, he joined Eastern Washington University, winning the 2013 Jerry Rice Award and the 2015 Walter Payton Award. He was also named the Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year in 2015 and 2016 and a first-team FCS All-American four times, from 2013 to 2016. He also broke several NCAAF records, including the all-division career leader in receiving yards with 6,464 yards and most career receptions with 428.
In 2021, Kupp had a breakthrough season, becoming the fourth player to lead the league in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns since the AFL-NFL merger. The only other wide receiver to win both the MVP award and the Offensive Player of the Year Award in a single career is Jerry Rice. Kupp was the MVP in Super Bowl LVI. He also holds two NFL records: the most receptions in a single postseason (33) and the most yards from scrimmage by a wide receiver in a single season (1,965). According to Pro Football Reference, as of December 2024, he has played in 103 games, recording 633 receptions for 7,747 receiving yards and 57 touchdowns.

What is Cooper Kupp’s Super Bowl record?
According to Pro Football Reference, Cooper Kupp had one Super Bowl win in the 2021 season, the Super Bowl LVI, with the Los Angeles Rams, as of December 2024. However, the Rams also made it to Super Bowl LIII in the 2018 season, but then Kupp was on the injury reserve and thus cannot be counted as his official Super Bowl appearance. Then, they lost against the New England Patriots, 3-13.
During the 2021 season, Kupp recorded five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in the 34-11 victory over the Cardinals in the Wild Card Round. His nine receptions for 183 yards and a touchdown helped the team defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30–27 on the road in the Divisional Round. A crucial 44-yard reception by him helped the Rams make the game-winning field goal. The Rams returned to the Super Bowl for the second time since 2018 when he had 11 receptions for 142 yards and two scores in the 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Kupp's first Super Bowl touchdown, an 11-yard reception, came against the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. He was selected as the Super Bowl MVP after he sprinted for seven yards on a crucial 4th-and-1 play on the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter and connected with quarterback Matthew Stafford on many successful catches, including the game-winning touchdown. His 478 yards and six touchdowns placed him second in league playoff history, behind Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, and his 33 receptions over four playoff games set a new NFL record for a single postseason. On the NFL Top 100 Players of 2022, his teammates placed him fourth.
