The NFL's Thursday Night Football hasn't had the greatest reputation in past years due to sloppy play and boring games. But the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams put on an offensive classic in week 4 with LA winning 38-31.

The star of the night was former Eastern Washington wide receiver and current Ram Cooper Kupp. The 2017 third-round draft pick led all receivers with 162 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches.
Kupp now has 24 catches for 348 yards and four touchdowns in the first four games of this year. His career numbers are 86 catches for 1,217 yards and nine touchdowns.
Thing is, if you're an FCS fan, none of this surprises you. From 2013-2016, Kupp set 15 FCS, 11 Big Sky and 26 EWU records. His college career numbers are just dumb.
Kupp had that label of "small school" during the NFL Draft process. Yet against four Pac-12 opponents, the 6-foot-2 receiver caught 40 passes for 716 yards and 11 touchdowns. Now he's proven to be a reliable target for Jared Goff.
A few months before the 2017 NFL Draft, Kupp talked to HERO Sports about his family and being the third generation of his family to hear his name called after his dad (1990) and grandfather (1964) were drafted.
