Injuries ravaged the receiving room of the Los Angeles Rams last season. No one including All-Pro Cooper Kupp was safe as multiple pass catchers missed significant time in 2022. With that in mind, the Rams had to go receiver at some point in the draft and did so in a big way with the last pick in the fifth round, Puka Nacua.
With unproven playmakers like Tutu Atwell and Ben Skowronek sitting on the roster behind Kupp, LA had to bolster the depth chart in a hurry. Although Nacua may have a concerning injury history himself, there’s simply no denying the role he can play in Sean McVay’s offense when healthy.
