The Super Bowl MVP, Kupp has been in the NFL since 2017 and this is the first rushing TD which only goes to show that the player has been heavily dependent on his quarterbacks to pass him quality balls so that the player could score. Overall in his career, the 29-year-old has scored 43 TD with the 2021 season being his highest scoring season. He had 16 receiving TD during the course of the season. 

Cooper Kupp was also the triple crown winner in the NFL last season. He led the whole league in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, becoming just the 16th overall player and the first since Steve Smith Sr in 2005 to achieve the record.

In the Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals, he recorded 8 receptions for 92 yards and 2 TDs and led the Rams to their first Super Bowl victory since 1999.
