NFC offensive rookies to watch: WR Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams

While the Rams’ receiver room looks quite good on the surface, there is a scope for injuries or just bad form to hurt a slightly inexperienced (outside of Cooper Kupp) room.

Puka Nacua, a 5th-round pick out of BYU, is listed as just behind Van Jefferson on the depth chart and has all the talent in the world to earn a starting role as a rookie.

Nacua impressed as a dual-threat weapon at BYU, with over 1700 all-purpose yards and 10 all-purpose touchdowns over his final two years in Utah.

The threat that he poses both on the ground and through the air is something that should work incredibly well with Sean McVay as his head coach and could lead to him bursting on the scene early in his NFL career.
