Puka Nacua Named NFL's Best Wide Receiver for 2024

The Los Angeles Rams' season ended with a narrow 29-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. Despite a slow start to the season, the Rams rallied to win the NFC West, largely thanks to standout performances from wide receiver Puka Nacua. Nacua, who finished the season with 79 receptions for 990 yards and three touchdowns, was recognized as the NFL's highest-graded wide receiver according to Pro Football Focus. After breaking the rookie receiving yards record in 2023, he faced challenges in his sophomore season due to injuries but still produced impressive numbers when on the field. His reliability earned him a significant target share from quarterback Matthew Stafford, especially in the playoffs. The Rams plan to build their offense around Nacua as they look ahead to the next season.
