Fresh off of a collarbone injury in the ninth grade that sidelined him for his freshman football season, Cooper Kupp, standing at about 5-foot-7 and barely weighing 130 pounds, walked into the weight room for rehab and had a question in mind.
"What is it going to take to play in college?"
Kupp posed the question to one of his high school coaches, Jay Dumas, who was the offensive coordinator and coached Kupp and his younger brother at Davis High School in Yakima, Wash.
Dumas said he wasn't sure how to answer the question besides with the basics, "A lot of hard work," and then he followed up with the statistics of how many high school athletes go on to play football at the collegiate level.
If you're wondering, about 7.5 percent of those athletes go on to play college ball with three percent of those athletes going on to play Division I football, per NCAA.com.
Kupp didn't flinch, but instead asked, "What about the NFL?"
With an even smaller percentage of those athletes making it to the NFL, Dumas said, "In my mind, I'm like, 'What are we talking about? The NFL? You're in the ninth grade and just broke your clavicle, you can't touch the net, you're wearing ankle weights'… It didn't scare him like I thought it would," Dumas said.
Kupp's reaction to those stats? "OK. That's what it's going to take, then that's what I'm going to do."
During his press conference on Tuesday, Kupp said, "I remember that conversation, because I told him I wanted to be a running back at USC. Reggie Bush was my guy, and he said you have to change your plans. 'Our best-case scenario, maybe you can go to Central Washington and play at the D-II school there. If you work really hard maybe you can do that'."
But Kupp remembers that answer didn't sit right with him.
"No, I'm going to do what I want to do," Kupp said. "I know what I want to do, I know what I want to achieve and what I want to become and who I am."
And that's when Dumas said he knew Kupp was going to be a special player.
"Over the course of the next four years, he worked at his body, he worked at the game, becomes a better student in the game and loves the game and grew eventually into what he became," Dumas said. "So, I knew he would be special in the ninth grade. How special? I could have never imagined the career that he's had. A good career? Sure. A good college career? Absolutely could picture that. Being one of the best receivers in the NFL? I never saw that coming. He continues to surprise us."
And Kupp joked that even though he didn't become a running back like he'd hoped, that conversation with Dumas is what kickstarted the mindset he holds with him still today.
"While I didn't go to USC and be a running back, I do think the habits that I formed in high school have carried me through everything, every step of my career," Kupp said. "I understand that it is the work. It's the time that you put in your preparation, that sets you up to go play this game freely. Those habits were established early on. It's all I know now."
Kupp added, "I'm thankful for Coach Dumas, for his doubts, thankful for Dumas also for his coaching because he is one of the guys, that as time went on believed in me and pushed me and set me up to be who I am today."
For Kupp, an NFL career where he's gearing up to start his ninth season is a testament to that mindset, his longevity, work ethic and consistency.
"He's going to be the first one in and the last one out," Dumas said. "He's going to try to do that as much as possible. That was how he was when he was here in high school. That certainly translated over to Eastern [Washington University], where he was getting extra work before practice, extra work after practice, being really dedicated to his craft. I think that's one thing that has been really consistent with him is his work ethic, consistency and dedication to his craft."
Dumas added, "I've always considered Coop as the consummate professional, even when he was in high school and college because that was his approach to the game."
While Kupp played for the Los Angeles Rams for the first eight seasons of his career, the 12s had plenty of opportunities to watch just exactly what kind of player he is, but if you still don't know, Dumas said it's simple. A winner.
"What the 12s are getting is a winner. That guy knows how to win. And they're getting a great professional. They're getting someone that they're never going to have to mention the word potential around him. They're going to know that number 10 is giving them everything that he has. They're getting somebody that really believes that this is where he's supposed to be right now. He knows he's supposed to be in his home [state] playing for a team that he probably grew up and loved."
The opportunity to play at the highest level in his home state, where he played high school and college football is huge for Kupp.
"Growing up watching Seattle, watching football be a huge part of my life and then playing in Eastern Washington, a full circle moment coming back. Being able to throw on a Seattle Seahawks uniform, that's a really cool thing and something that I don't take lightly."
Dumas said, "Around this state, in the Pacific Northwest, we're getting one of our own… and I think that is a special deal. All of the 12s will know him from his days with the [Davis] Pirates, his days with the [Eastern Washington] Eagles, his days with the Rams and now his days with the Hawks. This just brings his career full circle and the 12s are the recipient of that."
On Tuesday, Kupp spent the day at the Seahawks training facility, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center and was able to look at all the Seahawks history, through photos and video boards around the facility.
Being in the facility let him reminiscence a little on what the Seahawks meant to him growing up.
"I've talked a lot about memories and experiences, that's kind of what football is. It's like remembering all those big moments and walking through the halls [of this building], it's looking at these photos of iconic moments and games and being able to recognize now. 'I remember where I was when that happened'."
And now as his first official day as a Seahawks is almost over, he gets to be a part of that Seahawks history that will make it to the walls of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center one day too.
The Seahawks have signed wide receiver Cooper Kupp after eight seasons with the Rams. The Yakima native and Eastern Washington graduate returns to his home state after catching 634 passes, for 7,776 yards and 57 receiving touchdowns in his NFL career.
