Puka Nacua, a rookie for the @RamsNFL, has had a remarkable season, with 4 games of 150+ scrimmage yards, placing him 4th for most receiving yards for a rookie since the merger. Sean McVay and others have endorsed him for Offensive Rookie of the Year (OROY), with McVay stating that Nacua has his vote.
