Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp was feeling on top of the world following their success in the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. The wideout did sympathize with his injured teammate WR Robert Woods who has been out with an ACL tear since November. Kupp does recognize the situation that Woods is in due to similarities between both from almost three years ago.

Cooper Kupp did miss the Super Bowl LIII with an ACL injury and had to sit out the rest of the season. The victory in the NFC Championship game on Sunday gives him and his franchise a chance at redemption after three years. But amid all the celebration, Kupp recognizes that Woods was a big reason for reaching this point of the season. Both Kupp and Woods joined LA together in 2017. The wideout Kupp was drafted in the third round while Woods was signed as a free agent.
