Yahoo Sports. - Now being widely regarded as the greatest wide-receiver in FCS history, Kupp lit up opponents for 428 receptions, 6464 receiving yards and 73 touchdowns during his four college seasons. The man is simply an exceptional football player. Despite not having all the physical attributes or blazing fast speed, Kupp managed to excel at Eastern Washington after being a no-star recruit out of high school. Sporting a six-foot-two and 215-pound frame, his size certainly measures up quite well to the average receiver in the N.F.L. today. Playing best in the slot, Kupp’s route-running confidence is a clear-cut strength. He needs to improve body strength and quickness, however.
Yahoo Sports: 56. Eastern Washington WR Cooper Kupp — Extremely reliable and driven short-area slot receiver with limited long speed and upside.
DLF: Quicker-than-fast, the overused statement from Mike Mayock, is the perfect description for Kupp’s combine performance. He’s not going to blow by defenders with speed but he will utilize his short area quickness to create separation from defenders. He doesn’t have an exciting list of comparables but his list shouldn’t matter as much since he excels at beating defenders with technique and precision and not athleticism and speed.
NFL Analysis: Kupp's post-Senior Bowl hype train slowed quite a bit after his lackluster combine outing. But his domination of opponents (albeit in the FCS' Big Sky Conference) is hard to completely ignore. Kupp has decent long speed and plus hands to help him win in contested situations. But his work at the combine drills belies a player who might only grade out as a big slot receiver in the vein of Jordan Matthews. If Kupp can find his way onto a roster that has talent at the outside receiver spot, he could have some fantasy sleeper appeal.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "He's an advanced route-runner. I love his hands and his edge. Very average speed. His three-cone was one of the best of the combine, meaning he can get in and out of breaks. Against two Pac-12 teams, he caught the ball 27 times with six touchdowns, so don't give the 'level of competition' with Kupp." -- Mike Mayock
