    During an appearance on the Jim Rome Show, Bruce broke down what makes Kupp special, praising the mental aspect of his game and his ability to see the field like a quarterback.

    “I always say once a guy has it – what I mean by that is, for a wide receiver to have it, that means he now has quarterback eyes,” Bruce said. “So he can read a defense, he can go pre-snap, he can manipulate. He’s faster than what people give him credit for. He’s very elusive and I just think he’s really strong in catching the football. He catches it in a crowd and he plays at two speeds. That’s one of the things that Torry (Holt) and myself, we always tried to make sure we were doing. It’s kind of like making the defensive back think that we’re running full speed but we’re really not and then once the ball gets in our hands, we’re able to turn it on and he does that perfectly.”

    It might be my imagination but — you know that patented thing Kupp does

    at the end of his receptions, when he’s almost going out of bounds or hes almost tackled — where he just sorta twirls or wheels or spins or jukes

    and ‘boom’ he’s into another gear and he gets behind the defender ‘somehow’.

    Well, Ive seen other WRs doing that the last two weeks.  And I hadnt seen anyone else doing it before.

    Maybe I’m crazy but I think Kupp changed the game a bit.  I think WR’s have studies his little extra-yardage-move.

    Cooper Kupp watches film of other receivers all the time. He’s a connoisseur and a student of the position, and he’s always looking for tips and skills he can add to his game.
