| 0:00.0 | Offensive player of the year, Triple Crown, Super Bowl MVP, the single greatest wide receiver season ever, and it belongs to Cooper Cup. |
| 0:11.4 | The L.A. Rams capped off an impressive season filled with big trades and free agency signings with a Super Bowl win at home. |
| 0:18.8 | And yet, the biggest storyline other than, of course, well, the Super Bowl, wasn't |
| 0:23.6 | Aaron Donald, wasn't O'Dell Beckham, Vaughn Miller, or even Matthew Stafford, who was probably |
| 0:27.6 | their biggest acquisition this off-season, it was Cooper Cups' remarkable season. |
| 0:32.6 | And whether you're a fantasy owner, a casual fan, or an NFL analyst, this season clearly stands out as one of, |
| 0:39.3 | if not, the single greatest receiving season in NFL history. |
| 0:43.3 | I mean, we're talking 145 receptions, over 1,900 yards, 16 touchdowns. |
| 0:48.3 | These are accomplishments we only have seen a handful of times by some of the best receivers in NFL history guys like |
| 0:54.5 | Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Megatron, right? And even those guys, most of the time, |

| 1:05.6 | a top 10 catch percentage in the league like Cooper Cup did. 75% catch percentage, 145 receptions, that's absurd. |
| 1:14.2 | And as much as I would love to just ramble about Cooper Cup's stats all day, I really |
| 1:17.6 | can't because his advanced analytics really aren't even that good. |
| 1:21.6 | They're pretty average. |
| 1:22.6 | I wouldn't say they're bad. |
| 1:23.9 | But when you look at like NFL next gen stats, he doesn't like get pressed all the time, doesn't get a billion yards of separation, he doesn't have like the most air yards or whatever. He just wins a lot. And I know that's weird to say about receivers. We often hear that terminology used with quarterbacks, but he really does just win, and he wins most of his reps. |
| 1:44.9 | So if you want to understand the context behind Cooper Cup's ludicrous stats, you can't look |
| 1:48.7 | in the advanced analytics, you have to look on film. |
| 1:52.0 | You have to watch him play to understand him. |
| 1:54.4 | And I'm going to do my best job defending Cooper Cup because he was labeled as a lot of things |
| 1:59.4 | this year, other than being just a great |
