Few rookie wide receivers had as strong of a 2017 season as Cooper Kupp did. He led all first-year wideouts with 62 catches and 42 first downs, was second in yards (869) and touchdowns (5), and consistently looked like a budding star for the Los Angeles Rams.

Like any rookie, though, he also had his struggles. The mental aspect of the game didn’t seem to be an issue for Kupp, but at times, he dealt with the dreaded drops – occasionally in big moments.

Whether you’re a 10-year veteran or a player entering your second season, there’s always room for improvement. Kupp is no stranger to that and knows he has to get better in a handful of areas.

“There were a lot of things I really wanted to change, and things that I was almost embarrassed where I was last year,” Kupp told Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. “You have to make strides to make sure those things are fixed coming into this year. Obviously, there are some good things that you can be proud of but never be content with.”

Kupp is undoubtedly his biggest critic and says he’s working to fix things he “didn’t think were good enough” last season. He didn’t specifically say what those aspects of his game were, but one can assume he’s talking about his hands.

The second-year receiver will likely never become one of the elite players in the NFL, but he’s certainly going to be a playmaker for the Rams for years to come.
