It’s official. Cooper Kupp is the triple crown leader of all receivers in the National Football League. In his fifth season after being drafted in the third round, 69th overall, out of Eastern Washington, the Los Angeles Rams weapon is the best at his position and statistically it wasn’t even close.
Kupp’s final stats of the 2021 regular season:
145 receptions (1st)
1,947 receiving yards (1st)
16 receiving touchdowns (1st)
The last player to achieve the triple crown was Steve Smith in 2005 and only four receivers in NFL history have accomplished the feat with Sterling Sharpe in 1992 and Jerry Rice in 1990 included.
