Cooper Kupp had a 2021 NFL season for the record books. The 28-year-old Los Angeles Ram led in three key categories for receivers: catches, receiving yards and receiving TDs.
How rare is that? It’s only happened three times before this year, most recently 16 years ago and Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers.
