Rams' Puka Nacua isn't the first to go from unknown to can't miss

Entering the season, Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua found himself in the shadows of Cooper Kupp as a fifth round pick out of BYU. But with Kupp on the injured reserve, Nacua has seamlessly filled his absence.

After 10 catches and 119 yards last week against the Seattle Seahawks, the fifth round draft pick followed it up with 15 receptions and 147 yards against the San Francisco 49ers.

His hot start is nothing short of historic.

Nacua's 25 combined receptions through two games is the most ever by a rookie in NFL history and third overall, only behind Andre Rison (26) and Michael Thomas (28), according to ESPN Stats & Info.
