Did the Rams’ lights-out receiver take a leap—or was he always this awesome?
This description undersells Kupp’s origin story by a good bit. Kupp didn’t prove anyone wrong, because he couldn’t even get most schools to notice him in the first place. Kupp called me forduring his draft preparation, and he told a story that was astonishing even in the Wild West of college football recruiting. Kupp had tried to get the attention of the coaches at the University of Washington, where his grandfather played, in a region where he’d been an all-state high school player.
“We had a lot of connections there,” Kupp told me. “We couldn’t even get a reply back from them. We couldn’t get a letter back or an email back that simply said, ‘No, we’re not interested.’ We couldn’t get anything from them, so, you know, it was frustrating.”As far as the top of college football is concerned, nobody underestimated Kupp. They simply did not estimate him, period. He was a nonentity. Nobody knew who he was. He wasn’t good enough to even be a two-star recruit.
