Every Cooper Kupp route tree from every Rams game in 2021

The world is catching on: Cooper Kupp is having one of the all-time great seasons.

There are many ways to define Kupp’s remarkable run towards potentially becoming the first player to total 2,000 receiving yards in a single season, and whether that comes in 16 games or 17 games, he has no less provided NFL fans with the one thing they should never deny themselves: Entertainment.

Perhaps in Kupp’s case, it is Rams fans and fantasy owners who get to enjoy his historical efforts while everyone else must endure sulk after sulk, but hopefully everyone who says they love football can appreciate what the former FCS superstar with zero division-I scholarship offers has done over the last 17 weeks.

Though Kupp still has one more game to go, I couldn’t wait to compile every route that he’s run this season thanks to the people and computers at NextGen Stats, including his Week 4 game against the Cardinals not on their website that I had to track down by bothering the people and computers at NextGen Stats.

Enough of my words, here is a visual representation of Cooper Kupp’s amazing 2021 season:
