Kupp's hand slap shows this kid is strong.
The announcers (Raider's home announcer) kept remarking about Kupp getting "leverage"...and making the Raiders's DB repeatedly look bad. This is the "instinct" that McVay is speaking about. Kupp just knows how to get preferred body position to make a play.
- The ability to get open
- Superb hands
Speed? Not crucial.
Kupp caught a ball from Goff that was about 3 inches off the ground. He reached down and caught it with hands--no slide down, just hands like pincers.
It's really exciting.
