Puka Nacua wasn’t a top-10 receiver prospect in the 2023 draft, in fact he was the 20th player picked at his position and the final selection of the fifth round, and he wasn’t expected to be one of the top-10 rookies in the league when the season started. Puka was the eighth player selected by his own team and he only ranked 147th in the nation in receiving yards as a senior at BYU.
Less than a year later, it’s well past time to say what should be obvious by now: Rams rookie Puka Nacua is one of the top-10 receivers in the NFL.
