A player’s second-year year is vital to the development in their career. It’s that second season in which they begin to show what kind of player they’ll be and what role they can grow into from a leadership standpoint. While Cooper Kupp had a good rookie season with the Los Angeles Rams, it was that second year where you knew he had the potential to be a star.
As players are no longer rookies, more is expected out of them from the coaching staff. The opportunity is there for them to make a mark within the team and the overall team-build.
