Cooper Kupp Is Super Bowl MVP

It's hard for me to give recognition to Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp, after all his statistics against the Seahawks while playing for the Rams are rather astounding.  Against my beloved Seahawks Kupp has made 58 catches for 700 yards and 5 touchdowns.  

However, Kupp is a product of Yakima, playing for the Davis Pirates, one of Wa-Hi's  (Walla Walla High, my alma matter) conference rivals.   Apparently not recruited by any major university, he played for the Eastern Washington Eagles, out of Cheney. 

Kupp would wind up being a 3rd round draft pick in 2017.  Yet, he is now an NFL star after an incredible season and a come from behind Super Bowl victory. 

While the Rams could not be described as a Cinderella story, the saga of Cooper Kupp can be.
