After an exciting Super Bowl victory for the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, wide receiver Cooper Kupp was named Most Valuable Player of the season. His eight receptions for 92 yards and the final touchdown that won the whole game played a significant role in bringing his team to a championship. This win ended their historic season with a 23-20 record.

The talented wide receiver has always been outspoken about his faith and relationship with Jesus. Amongst the field celebrations after the game, Kupp gave God all the praise and credit for his success. In an interview with “Sports Spectrum,” he expressed how he felt about the riveting season.

“It just comes down to this team, how we’ve prepared, the way we’ve loved on each other, trusted each other,” he said fondly. “I don’t know; I don’t feel deserving of this. God is just so good. I’m just so thankful for the guys I get to be around, for the coaches, for my family.”

Kupp also shared that God gave a vision to him three years ago after the Patriots defeated the Rams. The vivid dream had his team making it to the Super Bowl and receiving the title of MVP. He pointed out that he told no one of this dream except his wife. Kupp shared that he often thought of this pre-destined vision as this season progressed.

“I don’t know what it was; there was just this vision that God revealed to me that we were going to come back, we were going to be a part of a Super Bowl, we were going to win it,” he explained. “And somehow — somehow I was going to walk off the field as the MVP of the game.”

This powerful forewarning from God coming to fruition is remarkable. The wide receiver explained that since he trusted in God’s plan, he didn’t have to worry about the how.

“It was written already, and I just got to play free knowing that I got to play from victory, not for victory,” Kupp stated. “I got to play in a place where I was validated not from anything that happened on the field but because of my worth in God, in my Father.”

Kupp has always been bold about declaring his Christian faith. After Sunday night’s triumph, Kupp even took to social media to say, “Do it to get a crown that will last forever.” This phrase is a fragment of his favorite Bible passage of 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, which reads, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”

Kupp has always given God the glory and focused on Him throughout his career successes.

“My motivation coming in every single day is to run the race in such a way as to honor God and the passions and the talents that He’s given me,” Kupp declared. “When I’m rooted in that, I am in a great place. I am able to play freely.”
