Cooper Kupp, veteran wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, acknowledged how much he enjoys impacting his teammates with his experience as a Super Bowl LVI champion and MVP with the Los Angeles Rams.
“I try to be an open book, someone who impacts the team; an energy multiplier. I’ve told the guys that Sunday is going to be great, that they should be thankful we’re in the Super Bowl and enjoy it for what we’re going to do,” the receiver said.
From legacy with the Rams to leadership in Seattle
Cooper Kupp has a place among the legends of the Rams, a team he helped win Super Bowl LVI, a game in which he was named MVP, in the 2021 season.
In which he also won the triple crown by being number one in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns.
Something only he and four other receivers have accomplished since 1970.
Now he wants to round off that same success with the Seattle Seahawks, the team he joined this season and with which he will play this Sunday’s Super Bowl LX against the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Since his arrival to the team at the beginning of this season, Cooper Kupp assumed the role of leader to guide his teammates.
Something that boosted the level of youngsters like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, a 23-year-old who finished the regular season as the league’s number one receiver.

“We talked from the beginning of the season about what it would be like to play together, that’s what good teams do.”
“JSN and other guys picked it up and took it to the field. The result has been the camaraderie and complicity we have,” he explained.
The 32-year-old catcher stressed that much of that camaraderie was cultivated more outside the team’s facilities than inside.
“I think that bonding was achieved outside of these four walls, beyond the time we spent in the locker room.”
“We build confidence on a day-to-day basis, knowing that your partner next to you wants you to succeed.”
The offensive lineman, who will try to help the Seahawks win the second Super Bowl in their history, said.
Cooper Kupp is one of the NFL’s most accomplished receivers in recent years.
Among the records he holds are the most yards from the line of scrimmage for a receiver in a season, with 1,965, and most receptions in a playoffs, with 33.
