Monday's NFL: Rams' Kupp moves on from All-Pro year with Robinson replacing Woods

Associated Press

Thousand Oaks, Calif. — Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods were just about as close as two receivers can be during their five seasons together with the Los Angeles Rams.

They worked out together, studied together and built a lifelong bond that will outlast Woods’ surprising offseason trade to Tennessee.

Rams wide receiver and Detroit native Allen Robinson II participates in drills at the team's practice facility in Irvine, Calif.

As Kupp begins his attempt this month to build on one of the greatest seasons by a pass-catcher in NFL history, he won’t have Woods by his side. Instead, newcomer and Detroit native Allen Robinson has stepped in with a hunger for success and a playing style that appears to complement Kupp quite well.
