Seattle Seahawks GM heaps remarkable amount of praise onto WR Cooper Kupp

The Seattle Seahawks sent DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason and will lean on veteran Cooper Kupp to help fill the void. Kupp, who spent the first eight years of his NFL career with the Los Angeles Rams, returns to his home state and hopes to recapture the magic he had in 2021 when he led the NFL in receptions, yardage, and receiving touchdowns.

If general manager John Schneider is to be believed, that won't be hard at all. While speaking with reporters during the NFL owners' meetings, Schneider threw as much praise as possible toward Kupp. According to Michael-Shawn Dugar, he praised the veteran's football IQ while calling him "deceptively fast."

As if that wasn't enough, he then gave him the ultimate compliment for a Seattle wide receiver, comparing him to Steve Largent.

Kupp was undoubtedly one of the top receivers in the league during his prime, which included his historic run in 2021. That was also the year he helped them win the Super Bowl, knocking off the Cincinnati Bengals.

Unfortunately, he hasn't crossed the 1,000-yard mark since that season while appearing in 12 games or fewer the past three years.
