Rams' Star is Instilling Fear in his Opponents

This Los Angeles Rams team is filled with a lot of talent at all the positions. It is something we do not usually see from an NFL team. The Rams have done a great job all over the place in getting the right players to come in and be part of what they are trying to achieve in Los Angeles. The Rams have done this with limited resources as well when it comes to draft picks and the money they could spend. They have just been pressing the right buttons and have done their job well.

One player that does not get the recognition that he earned and deserves is star wide receiver Puka Nacua. He was not highly scouted coming out of college, but the Rams know what he could bring to the table and to their team. They took a chance on him, and Nacua has not looked back since. Nacua has become one of the best wide receivers in the National Football League. He has gotten better each season since entering the league, and now he has taken over as the Rams' No. 1 receiver.

Puka Nacua's Emergence

Nacua has become a problem for any defensive back and any team that is trying to stop him. He just loves playing football, and the why he plays is different than most wide receivers.

"On top of Nacua's gritty play, he's also emerged as one of the most skilled offensive players in the NFL," said NFL reporter Eric Williams of FOX Sports. "Through three games this season, Nacua’s 385 yards from scrimmage tops all wide receivers and is fourth overall in the NFL, behind star running backs Jonathan Taylor, Bijan Robinson, and Christian McCaffrey.

McVay on Nacua

"So, how is Nacua able to seamlessly blend grittiness with skill? Rams head coach Sean McVay isn't exactly sure, but he certainly appreciates the toughness."

"One of my buddies texted me the other day. He said, ‘Nacua must mix his oatmeal with cement,'" McVay told reporters. "I thought that was a pretty appropriate way of just going into how tough he is, but he loves it.

"He loves the game. He loves obviously being able to make plays with the ball. … He's a stud. I think he continues to represent why he is so mentally and physically tough. … He shows it on a daily basis."
