The Los Angeles Rams enter the 2024 season with one of the best wide receiver tandems in the NFL in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
Kupp has been hampered by injuries since his historic 2021 season when he became the first player since Steve Smith Sr. to lead the league in receptions, receiving yard and receiving touchdowns. However, Puka Nacua stepped up with Kupp struggling to regain his form in 2023 and went on to produce one of the most historic rookie receiver seasons ever.
The two have been hard at work during the off season getting ready for the upcoming year, and there is optimism that they’ll be able to hit the ground running as both are healthy during OTAs. Kupp, in particular, is the healthiest he’s been during the offseason in years and is poised to remind the league how special he can be when he’s on the field.
However, both Kupp and Nacua have been able to enjoy some of the downtime as well as they were recently seen on stage during Zach Bryan’s concert at Crypto.com Arena along with other celebrities, via the team’s official X account:

@zachbryanarchive The Los Angeles Rams & Chargers, Tate McRae, Brianna LaPaglia, Jake Shane, Josh Richards, and more came on stage during Revival! 🤯
In the first clip, Nacua is seen hyping up the crowd and Bryan as he plays the guitar during his encore performance of his song “Revival” while Kupp sings the lyrics into the microphone along with L.A. Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert. The second video from TikTok gives a better view of the guests on stage enjoying themselves as the violinist performs.
Bryan is well-known for bringing numerous star guests on stage during his concerts, and Kupp and Nacua apparently got the invite to join him during his three-day stand in Los Angeles. In a city full of celebrities and stars, it was only fitting that Kupp and Nacua got a chance to appear on stage with Bryan and provide some extra excitement during the show.
Rams’ Puka Nacua trying to reach Cooper Kupp’s expectations
Puka Nacua has far exceeded any expectations since being drafted in the fifth round. The BYU product was considered a depth piece before exploding onto the scene and establishing himself as a star player in the NFL.
Although Nacua’s experienced unprecedented success, he said he is still looking to meet Cooper Kupp’s expectations for him.
