Overview

• Through Week 5, Nacua tops the league with 52 receptions and 588 yards, leading all receivers in both categories.
• He became the fastest player to reach 50-plus catches to start a season and is on a 1,999-yard pace, positioning him to challenge Calvin Johnson’s 1,964-yard record.
• Nacua cites his rapport with Stafford and the Rams’ informal morning ‘Breakfast Club’—a legacy of Cooper Kupp—as key to their in-game timing and preparation.
• The addition of Davante Adams has influenced Nacua’s approach and spacing, with Nacua noting he studies Adams’ power and technique in drills.
• Observers point to availability as the main variable after injuries limited him to 11 games in 2024, with a Week 6 trip to Baltimore next against a defense ranked near the bottom in points and passing yards allowed.
