Folks are starting to hedge and understand just how special Kupp is - one word Transcendent
In time, not only will Kupp be seen as a top receiver in the NFL, but a top player period in the NFL. He is
a transcendent football player

This is no disrespect to Goff but Kupp will be legendary NFL player versus a top tier QB in the league which is what Goff is today. He gets everybody to scratch their heads and say,
How in the world he is doing this?
He isn't the most athletic but he is a better athlete than people realize, he is big, has good moves, and simply one of the smartest and most instinctive players to ever play the position. Plus, he has toughness.
It is for these reasons I compare him to Larry Fitzgerald.
First of all, any list that include Jimmer Fredette, Brian Bosworth, and Melanie Oudin alongside Muhammad Ali, Babe Ruth, and Jesse Owens as "transcendent" figures shouldn't be taken seriously.
Second, Kupp will be a "legendary" NFL player? "One of the smartest and most instinctive players to ever play the position."
Are you his dad?
Seriously, assuming you don't think *quite* so highly of Robert Woods, what do you see that marks Kupp as better, much less transcendently better, than Woods? Not to mention, say, Julio Jones?
One key measure of Aaron Donald's *transcendent* talent, IMO, is that he can ruin games plans designed to stop him. Sacks aren't everything, but 20 sacks by an interior lineman double-teamed two-thirds of the time is absolutely obscene.
Kupp hasn't even faced a defense designed to stop HIM yet, much less excelled against one.
Jerry Rice sez: You're REALLY jumping the gun on this one.
