Edelman mentioned how Kupp does a bit of everything as a receiver, much as he used to.
“Cooper Kupp, he does a lot of everything,” the former Super Bowl MVP said of the reigning one via the podcast. “He’s versatile, and I’m a little biased toward those guys because that’s how I was. I played all spots.”
Kupp has been phenomenal in his five seasons in the league. He has a stellar route tree and has established himself as a premier blocking receiver:

In Conclusion:
The wideout is coming off of a triple crown season (a season in which he led the league in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns), cementing himself as one of the best in the league today.
Kupp is one of four players to win the triple crown since 1970, according to Grant Gordon of nfl.com. The Rams receiver joined the company of Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe and Steve Smith with his historic 2021 campaign.
He will look to repeat his historic triple crown season and entrench himself even more into the top receiver conversation.
Also mentioned by Edelman were fellow Los Angeles receiver Keenan Allen and new Las Vegas Raiders pass-catcher Davante Adams.
When speaking of Allen, Edelman discussed how crisp his routes are.
Adams is brought up frequently in this conversation. The former receiver talked about how often Adams gets open.
