I used to watch him in high school and this kid was special. I’m glad to see him killing it in the league
My son played pee wee ball in Vegas with Puka. The thing that stood out about him even at 11 years old was how hard he was to tackle. So fun to see him killing it in the NFL. Thanks to Cooper Kupp for taking a time out and giving him a chance.
that's awesome!
Sure IS amazing what happens when someone shows confidence in your abilities!! Rock 'em Puka!! Good job Kupp!!
Rams found an absolute gem in Puka. I’m really excited to see the duo of Puka and Kupp for years to come! Great video as always! Hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving!
Kupp might get traded hot take
Years to come for Kupp? More like months.
@@Monkey-jl6soon draft night watch
@@Monkey-jl6sonot hot at all if Kupp is injury prone and is getting paid 16 mil per year

Being a BYU fan...seeing Puka do this in the NFL is honestly not surprising at all. Kid is just different
Hes a dawg
Puka is a awesome football player...rookie is gonna do big things in the future. Kupp and nacua will be a force to be reckoned with.
Idk dude, I love Kupp but he is very injury prone and he's already 30.
Inspiring. Faith Family And Football. His Father would be very proud.
FATHER I S PROUD !!!!🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
He is a football player: run, catch, block,… When he played at BYU he was a difference maker. Problem he missed a lot of games.
Just cause your little slower, smaller, or not as tall. This proves anyone can be great if they play with passion. Never give up on your dreams.
Feels good to prove the haters wrong the haters said he wasn’t fast enough and look at him now.
Heart and grit is an intangible that is worth more than pure talent. It's just very hard to see in an NFL that is made with immediate gratification picks. Tom Brady is the ultimate example of being passed over and becoming great. Hell, Kupp is another example of a great player that wasn't projected to do well. So props to the Rams for finding intangibles.
PUKA is a beast! Love the kid!!
Puka playing for his late father ❤ & would be top candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year if CJ Stroud wasn't going nuts.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Puka would be going nuts himself if not for cooper Kupp
Love these videos telling the story of these athletes! So good
Women shouldn’t be talking about sports they don’t even play. Or men’s sports in general. And men shouldn’t be talking about women’s sports
That’s awesome glad we have him on our RAMS HOUSE
You are the real deal. Good job. Praying for you.
Wow thank you so much! That means a lot!
Love puka love my Rams! Love this video thanks for showing some love to our amazing rookie. HORNS UP!
Nice job on telling his story. I just found your channel and I like your delivery and knowledge you share. I will be subscribing and waiting gif your next video.
My family knew all along! We kept our faith! Puka’s mom Penina is my mom’s cousin and so we see his mom and his family often. Go Puka!!!!!!!
This was the first video of yours I watched and I’m a fan about to go watch more keep up the hard work!!!
🔥 vid! You got a great story telling style.
Love this series, dude!
Im not gonna lie as a Rams fan i knew nothing about this kid, what a steal having him on the team. Wish him the best in his career
They better start throwing him the ball then. They have stopped of late.
Great job! Thank you very much!
Great stuff! Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving Lauren awesome video best believe Puka Puka Nacua will be special he really is special for such a stunning spectacular sensational rookie out of the BYU
Damn this is great story telling!
He's awesome! Single-handedly saved my fantasy football season
haha that's awesome!
NFL evaluation process is flawed. They place a premium on athleticism rather relying on film and placing a premium on just being a football player. Scouts probably thought he was the wrong color as well. It will get better over time.
Another W video Lauren!!!!!
So happy to see this amazing and talented man on the NFL scene now. Man deserves all the praise and glory he's getting now. Can't wait to see the Puka on the field again next year. He gave us some hell of a great games.
you say, a lot of teams passed on him in the draft but really every team passed on him multiple times because he was picked in the 5th round lol.
That was a good video❤
Do a video on Vikings this season
FYI, it was before his 12th birthday that his father passed. He just talked about it on the Rams youtube channel.
What they didn’t tell you he has better hair than 99% of the WRs in the NFL. He must be using vadal Sassoon 😅
Lol he does got some amazing flow
Props to the Rams scouts. Another example of the combine not telling the whole story. Well made video!
You did
Amazing on this video wow ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot!
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Lauren
Great video Lauren 📹
Thank you! You too!
@@SheGotSports my pleasure Lauren your videos are amazing and so are you
First saw him the playoffs. He's fun to watch. Great catch for the Rams.
I love a good underdog story
so weird how sports works! players who aren’t looked at or expected to do anything in the pros seem to always go off. haha
Jesus loves you and everyone
Underdogs baby!!
Tom Brady lmao
5th round daron bland playimg for dallas been going off since his rookie yeae
Great video and all but you locked me in as a subscriber by finishing the video with KB “Lincoln” in the background 💪#HGA
Puka is the new Amon Ra St. Brown
Fr
I played rugby in NZ and had a mate who wasn't the fastest but he just seemed to have all the time in the world when he has the ball. These type of players have something else, something better.
Talk about a diamond in the rough; the Rams hit the power ball and are now cashing in. Go Rams and go Nacua👍
His name translates to “He catches everything. “
Nice job.
Good video
I'm a ravens fan and I think I just found my new favorite WR after yesterday
What they aren't telling you is that he is Samoan.
Samoans are born to play football. Previously, they dominated line positions because of strength, and linebacking because of ferocity. Now, they are producing skill position players?? We are doomed. The League will be 50% Samoan by 2030.
Bow down to our benevolent overlords!
This my boy Nacua Matata
6:49 how do I make that my ringtone 😂
cougs love our puka
Honestly Puka should win the ROY. CJ is great but he isn't breaking any records... well maybe Texans records but that's it.
Straight line speed is great but if you can't run good pass routes it's wasted. Smarts & good instincts > just speed.
The combine is a joke. They should have all gear on. Some drop way off with it on.
Only thing is you said the overtime TD was his first, it was his 3rd
just give mvp to stroud and give my guy puka opoy
Lauren's record on this video is 1-0 on this season
Can't measure that intangible will to succeed.
facts
My Fantasy MVP, PUKAAAA NACUAAA
I’m a niners fan but I watch LA games just to watch Nacua
It's pretty simple for me. Chargers spent a 1 round pick on a man because of his athleticism, even he can't catch the ball. Rams spent a 5 round pick on a man because of his hability in catching. Wow, receiver is basically catching the ball when it comes to you. Puka is a lot better until this moment.
Cooper Kupp 2.0 idk how the Rams find these underrated recievers that have huge Break outs but I love it
it's crazy how they do it
I mean, alot of people have already said all this in earlier videos
Will you make a video on rookie QB CJ Stroud?
Yes it’s been on my list!!
GO RAMS!!
Jerry Rice wasn't that fast but they couldn't catch him on the field.
You forgot he had bitchin hair
Remind me of TB 12 combine. Bottom line- forget the stats- CAN U BALL?? This kid got it in spades ♠️. They thought same of Polamalu at the combine.
Totally wrong….Troy was a first round pick and always considered one…combine was not an issue….
Why don’t they run 40yd dash and route times in full gear during the combine?
honestly good question. It would be cool to see them run with and without pads and see the difference
What happened at 4:09?
this is proof that the NFL scouts have no idea what they are doing.
Puka-boo!
Aka, the combine doesn’t matter
It was because he had a slow 40. Check your facts. Dude is a baller.
Is that not what I said in the video? Lol
I couldn't watch the whole thing.@@SheGotSports
BYU product!! #GoCougs
He was supposed to be a 1st & 2nd round pick but his knee caused him to drop in the draft.
Lightning Puka Nacua
Wth… these dudes been a great since Hs… how did scouts moss him. 2,000yds+ in a season is great for anybody
A Cheetah doesn't waste his speed on prey that doesn't matter.
NFL Combine can't judge intelligence or heart, two main things that champions have. Its just a sideshow for cattle.
polynesian power run
4:07 what happened
Copyright
Dude is a savage with a heart of a lion
You remind me of Cher! Can you sing?
NICE VIDEO!
Football is life
Dude looks straight Native American
You wonder if he didn’t run as fast as he could to drop to a team that is not the worst team
In the NFL?
Just shows how terrible the combine is at measuring a players ability to play football. How many times do we see some player with an amazing combine just tank in real football situations and then you got guys like Puka who's measurables weren't great but when he gets on the field he's a monster
The 40 and all combine drills should be done in full football gear. That said competitiveness on the field is a different animal than competitiveness in a drill.
Just shows athleticism is overrated if you could ball you could ball another great example too with Julian Edelman and Danny amendola
I dont think she knows abt tank dell yet
Tank Dell vid next? Lol
Bro has 40 drops
Why’d u make that thumbnail like he killed someone
I had to shut it off. The girl's voice was bothering me.
4:09 ummm fix your editing
The NFL is less about talent and more about scheme. He’s a good receiver but put him on a team like the bucs and he’s not going to win 1 on 1s again and again
now if this chick cooks and clean id marry her without a preunup
Hope Puka Nacua works on his catching for less dropped passes.
