"I'm glad he's feeling good and ready to rock and roll,"
"He's a lifelong friend of mine. Obviously, we'll be competing against him this weekend, but it'll be good to see him."
"He's elevated a lot of people in this building."
"Honestly, I'm hoping that he doesn't take it off because if I see him take it off for somebody else, I might hit somebody on our team, respectfully,"
Cooper Kupp spent eight seasons with the Rams, peaking in 2021 as the NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl LVI MVP. The Seahawks will play at SoFi Stadium on Sunday in a game that will decide first place in the NFC West, marking Kupp's first matchup against his former team since his March release after the Rams could not find a trade partner. Kupp has 26 catches for 367 yards and one touchdown this season and complements a Seattle offense led by quarterback Sam Darnold and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is on pace for a record-breaking receiving season. Rams players and coaches praised Kupp's cultural impact and expressed respect while anticipating the game.
