Since 1999, only 2 players have gone for more receiving yards than Nacua in a 3-game stretch during a single season.

For 4 of the top 5 seasons in that chart, the qb was Stafford. It’s Calvin Johnson 3 times, and Nacua once.

Puka Nacua's production this season has been as complete as you could ask for from a wide receiver.

He's been one of the most efficient receivers at the catch point and after it, ranking first in both contested catches and yards after catch, among other stats. pic.twitter.com/GpIR7dqlvD

Puka Nacua reception percentage per target this season is at a staggering 78.6%

I can’t recall a Rams receiver that has caused me to rewatch catches to figure out just how he held onto a ball as often as Puka has.

if puka had caught that ball at the end of the game, that woulda been hands down the best catch i have ever seen a rams wr make.

i mean it just slipped out maybe a cm??? out of his hands. for maybe a millisecond??? a cm away from snagging a ball one handed with a defender draped on his arm. while dragging his feet and stretched out on the sidelines. that was crazy.

I can’t prove this obviously but my bet is that if Puka hadn’t mouthed off, they would have given him that catch.

But to be honest it’s not even the best one I’ve seen from him. I said it before–Nucua is a solid receiver in every aspect of his game, but he’s elite in the phone booth at the point of the catch, especially contested catches. And sideline catches, which are also within a phone booth. It’s as if when the ball is within inches of him, all of a sudden all 4 of his limbs each has its own brain, octopus style.

yeah. best hands and body control i’ve seen from a rams receiver.

Before Puka Nacua became a star for the Rams, he was making game-winning catches at BYU.
