All the latest on Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua including news, stats, records & history.
Puka led the league in receptions (129) and receiving yards per game (107.2) in 2025. He is the NFL's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (95.3) just three seasons into his career, having tallied 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025.
The Rams selected Nacua in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and the wideout made an immediate impact. He won Rookie of the Year in his debut season and has since become Matthew Stafford's favourite target in a loaded offence.
Nacua is a 'pit bull' of a wide receiver, and his physical toughness is evident on every play. He is an excellent route runner who is also elite after the catch, as he runs through contact rather than avoiding it.
