Rams' Cooper Kupp Wins 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp bucked the odds to win the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year.

The 28-year-old is the second wideout in three years to collect the honor after the New Orleans Saints' Michael Thomas topped the voting in 2019. But the position has been overlooked for the most part in the award's history. Jerry Rice is the only other receiver to be recognized as the Offensive Player of the Year.

Kupp had some tough competition to overcome.

No quarterback was more prolific than Tom Brady. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers star threw for 5,316 yards and 43 touchdowns.
