Where did Cooper Kupp play college football?

Los Angeles Rams All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp cut his teeth in the great state of Washington before taking over the NFL.

Long before Cooper Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), receiving yards (1,947) and touchdown catches (16), he was just a two-sport high school athlete turned FCS wide receiver from the great state of Washington.

The Los Angeles Rams used their third-round pick on Kupp in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the 69th overall player taken that spring (nice!), and while he had been an incredible receiver for the Rams for years, he broke out in a big way during his fifth season in the league. If he plays up to his standard, Kupp could be a big reason why the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56.
