There were 176 players, including 19 wide receivers, selected before the Los Angeles Rams picked Puka Nacua in the fifth-round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
It turned out to be one of the biggest steals of the year, and one of the biggest draft steals in recent memory, as Nacua put together a record-setting rookie season for the Rams.
With his four catches and 41 yards against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Nacua set new rookie records for receptions (105) and yards (1,486). He also caught his sixth touchdown of the season.
As soon as Nacua secured his records, head coach Sean McVay was motivated to immediately get him out of the game given how little the Rams had to play for.
