The Los Angeles Rams completely revamped their wide receiver room last offseason after a disastrous 2016 season on offense. They signed Robert Woods, drafted Cooper Kupp and traded for Sammy Watkins, giving Jared Goff the necessary weapons to succeed as a young quarterback.

Entering this season, the Rams made another major change, essentially swapping out Sammy Watkins for Brandin Cooks as Goff’s deep threat. Together, Los Angeles has one of the best receiver groups in all of football – a group that’s not only dynamic, but also very intelligent.

Cooks, who’s been with the team for just a few months, raved about both Kupp and Woods after practice on Wednesday, complimenting their skill sets and smarts.

“It’s been awesome,” Cooks said of working with the two wideouts. “I mean, you talk about great, great players. We all bring something special to the table. Kupp is one of the smartest players I’ve been around and he’s so young. And Woody, he’s just dynamic as well. So being with those two guys and the rest of the receiving corps – Josh , Mike , Cooper, Fred and the rest of the guys has been great, as well.”

Kupp isn’t the fastest or most athletic receiver in the league, but he’s one of the savviest route runners on the roster. He simply finds ways to get open, whether it’s sitting down in a gap in a zone defense or shaking his defender loose after Goff scrambles out of the pocket.

He did battle some minor drop issues as a rookie, but his mental toughness allowed him to overcome them and put together a historic first year with the Rams. Adding a deep threat like Cooks to a group that already features Kupp and Woods is a dangerous proposition for the rest of the NFC.
