The Los Angeles Rams have had an average season this year. Despite having a winning record (8-7), the team has failed to impress much. However, the fans can hype over Puka Nacua, their rookie WR.

The fifth-round rookie has shown intense form this season and is on the pace to surpass some solid records. His form has steamed hope among the fans who are seeking to have a great season next year.

The Rams have played 15 games this season and have only won eight. They have lost seven and are presently standing in the second position in the NFC West Division. The team won their last game on Monday against the New Orleans Saints by 30-22 and the WR left no stone unturned to impress the fans with his record.

Against the Saints, the WR gathered nine receptions for 164 yards and had a touchdown. Though the team is standing second in their division, playoffs are still uncertain for them. They have only two games to go and if they finish winning those two, then the Rams will finish with a 10-7 record. But the postseason will still be uncertain for the Super Bowl LVI winners.

Despite an uncertain future, the Rams fans are hyping the WR for the stellar season he has had. In 15 games, the WR has registered 1,327 yards with 95 receptions. In addition, he has also registered five touchdowns this season.

Fans hyped Puka Nacua over C.J.Stroud for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award

After the stellar offensive performance this season so far, fans left no stone unturned to appreciate Nacua. They argued that the WR deserves the ‘Offensive Rookie of the Year’ Award more than C.J. Stroud, the quarterback who has impressed everyone in his rookie season.

To win the OROY, the WR has to complete the season well, and he is in the perfect position to do that. The WR needs 129 yards to break Ja’Marr Chase‘s rookie record of 1,455 yards. In addition, the WR also needs 11 more catches to break Jaylen Waddle‘s rookie record of 105 catches.

However, the Rams fans have already decided that he deserves the award more than Stroud. Check out some of the comments that they made on social media after the Saints game.
