What a personality, put me in a better mood listening to his interview lol
Loved how he played. Now I love the dude himself lfg Puka
Every Samoan I ever met has been not only incredibly nice but also way beyond hard-working.
That was a top 2 interview this year. Make this Puka dude a weekly thing!
Puka Tuesday's has a nice ring to it.
@@jeremygilbert1890Rodgers is on Tuesdays lol
Only been 5 days into January but aye I love Puka too
How can anyone not like this kid? Dude had an infectious personality, love do see him to great things
he puts a smile on my face just seeing a personality like that. so refreshing frfr.
Drafted Puka in the 15th round of my rookie keeper fantasy league. Won the whole thing this past weekend with Puka as my season MVP. What a guy.
He was my WR1 off waivers this year. Number 1 seed but lost in the playoffs.
I grabbed him in the 22nd round of my dynasty start up
Got him off Waivers after the first week he went off. Puka won a bunch of guys Fantasy this year
@@The_ShrekoningI got him in the 19th in our startup
Picked up puka and Williams second week won it all
Whoever told management to draft Puka deserves a HUGEEE raise. I wish I had started a dynasty this year, Puka AND Rice? I wish 😢
Puka, rice, dell, and Kyren would all have been regarded to the late rounds before this season which is crazy.
I got puka, rice, and LePorta. My team went nuts
And Kyren! The Rams are leading the way in scouting no doubt
There’s a great video where you hear Sean McVay and Les Snead (Rams General Manager) talking about Puka and what he can bring to the team. Smart minds in that org!
Made a 12 man dynasty start up this year got Puka, Kyren and Achane. Brought home the 1st year championship! @@KingGregory27
I love this guy! Thanks for an amazing season Puka! Keep it going… go Rams!
bro single handedly made this season as a rams fan worth watching... early on this szn he gave the oomph and they been riding that energy
Me, and my fantasy team love Puka!!! ❤️
Week 2 waiver wire legend
@@jadenalapiscosame in 3 of 4 leagues I got Puka…. 🔥🔥🔥
@@jadenalapisco thats the day I got him 🤣
Agreed he won me my league
Haha! Same here!
I don't normally comment but after seeing this guy on the show, I became an even bigger fan. NEED to get him back, he brought some awesome vibes!
This guy smiling from minute one, great energy!
He’s the real life Danny Rojas from Ted Lasso😂 I love it!!
Bro might be sad he didn’t go 1st round, but he’s balling like a 1st rounder and will get paid if he keeps this up
That just means his rookie contract will be shorter. Not going in the first round helps a lot of guys when they ball out.
Other teams should take note. I feel like pride and ego Is a big problem in the league. Draft position trump's talent the majority of the time
Stafford and Kupp made him.
Imagine if the Rams passed on both Kupp and Puka due to slow 40 times….man am I glad the Rams study players and film a bit more in depth than others and Les Snead, draft guru. Brought us AD, Kupp, Puka, Ernest Jones, this whole rookie class, etc.
@@JayJay-jx3zg They're definitely helping him succeed but some of the things Puka has done physically this season just can't be done by anyone else on the team. He's a freak and catches everything.
Puka is like every Samoan I’ve ever met
Except somewhat stunted
@@mikerawls9619🤣🤣🤣
They are either just like this, or they are very quiet and angry.
Then why arent u a coach for a football team lol
Pat and the boys are Honorary Uces. All the Usos bring great energy when they get called to be on the progrum. 🤙🏽
He's like a 10 years old kid with that big smile.
freaking love Puka man
Rookie of the year hands down!!
If CJ wasnt a rookie
Puka and Kyren off waivers, greatest fantasy season of my life. Two fantasy GOATS! Insane stuff
same here
Same
Helped me win my ship
Added bonus is that it’s my dynasty league
@@ryanfitzpatrick9736this is the way
Had them Achane and rice and still lost 1st round🤦🏾
I’ll be at Levi’s stadium in the visitors stands on Sunday. Can’t wait to watch Puka break these records live. Horns up! Let’s go rams!
Good luck watch out for them 40whiners fans!
Yup! Bolt Up! ⚡️
@@sixdaslayer4426 wrong fan base bro, I don’t mess with the chargers man, I’m a rams fan.
Puka is awesome!!
Genius pickup. Kudos to the Rams for finding this Utah gem
One of the best interviews so far
EXACTLY as I wanted him to be. 😂 What a G! More Puka please.
This had me smiling from the beginning of the video!
worst thing about the pat mcafee show is getting to know these players who don't play for your team. like i'm a packer fan, but damn it, how do you not root for a guy like puka when he plays like he plays and he's as cool as he is?
Yeah Puka!! Plus Pat McAfee shouting out "MANA" Awesome!!!
Recruited as a 4 star player out of high school by Chris Peterson of the Washington Huskies in 2019. Transferred back home to BYU in Utah later. Huskies are proud of you Puka. Go Huskies!
I think he went to BYU because of a sick family member
@@aarondonald1611 yes health issues in family so he moved back home otherwise he would have stayed at UW. He loved Coach Peterson and loved playing for the Huskies. Family first.
One of the best football families in the state of Utah. The whole family loves football
You can never have enough good guys🇨🇦🇺🇸😁
Puka is the most wholesome player in the whole league
Tysom
I love underdogs and late round picks, but his personality makes him one of my favorite players. Seems like such a good guy
He’s incredible to watch man. He had a catch in the ravens game that was unreal
Rams gonna make a giants type a run
the only player on defense that is scary is Aaron Donald i dont know about the others....
@@mhdab2416Byron young and Kobie turner lead all rookies in sacks with 9 and 7 and a slot defender in Quentin lake plus an average secondary. A rising star in LB Ernest jones. It’s solid. Not great but not bad
niners clear
@@giveherbertacoach10we won the one that mattered: the nfc championship. Hell, I was at that game. The final pick was on the same corner of the end zone that I was at. Loved every second of it
As a giants fan I agree. They're really good and they're riding a ton of momentum. That was a fun game. I'm happy for the rams coaches players and fans. You actually have a chance to do something. Keep it rolling
Puka is such a likable guy. Wow best interview in a while.
Very proud of Puka and all the success he has done. His pops would be happy of the success him and his brothers have done. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
That guy seems like a good person to have on a team
As a Lions fan I am terrified of the rams, #9 in the D for a home playoff game but he’s not playing for us 😢
It’s happening idk who wins im very very excited tho
Falcons fan here, knew this guy was gonna be good. We needed another #2 but LA with Stafford and Coop was the best possible situation for him. Best of luck on the rest of the your career
Thank you for helping me win my fantasy league PUKA!!!!
Kyren Williams has some great energy as well, very electric and LOVES ball
I was having a pretty bad day this just brought the biggest smile on my face. Dude might be my new favorite player
This dude is great I was on him early but didn’t see him being this nuts as a rookie, enjoy watching him play.
Infectious, amazing personality, Can't wait to see this young man play for many years...and I'm not a Ram's fan!! I hope he never loses this positive attitude.
New Respect to the Mormons
Hell yeah
What a great attitude. A great team mate. Check out his smile. No vanity. Quiet Strength!
Amazing season this year for Puka! I picked him up on my fantasy team in the 4th week and so glad I did!
in the 4th week? Wtf he was a waiver priority week 1 with his 15 targets
Puka seems like a good dude. Drafting his ass next year fasho lol
Don't forget were Diggs was from as well. Them boys got a different drive. Love it
Great interview!!!
PUKAAAAAA This dude's the man I love it
See now this is a guy you wanna root for
Genuine dude genuine dawggg
I don’t follow the draft because you never know how it’s gonna unfold, but good lord this man was a gem for Rams fans
Their whole draft class is very animated and full of personality. From Steve Avila to Kobie Turner and Byron Young. They drafted some dawgs this past one. Also their rookie punter Ethan Evans has been blasting his kicks
Love this guy 😂🇨🇦🔥🇺🇸
He was fun to watch at BYU, and even more exciting in the NFL. Had him on both my fantasy teams. hehe.
you can just tell hes a chill guy to be around, hope he has a long career and gets that bag
Love It Pat ThePatMcAfeeShow Bro Let's Gooooooooo.
Man helped me win a fantasy chip! Let’s go NaKoooochie🔥
Damn i knew this dude could ball but i didnt think he was this cool. Hope he has a very long and successful career that ends with a second career in tv and a trip to canton.
Love the Rams and love this podcast.
Shoutout Dirty 😂
Gotta love this guy. Nothing but the best
I told my coworker to draft him in fantasy because I saw how he was destroying the 1’s in training camp and I knew Kupp was gonna be out awhile. Safe to say my eval was pretty spot on. Dude just showed a lot of grit and savvy for being a rookie! Hats off big uce!!!
Drafted him 1st year of my dynasty lg hoping for big things and he has not let me down!
I like that he has the perspective he needs to appreciate his opportunity. He gives a LOT of credit to his QB, who is in fact, a great QB with exceptional throwing and leadership talent and that is also a huge credit to Puka. IMO, his rise and impact alone should have made him the Offensive rookie of the year.
puka signed my shoes at a byu game! Such a cool guy
Thank you Puka for helping me win fantasy this year! Easily my most important post draft acquisition. Seems like a dope dude and clearly an amazing receiver
Greetings from Brazil.
Esse Puka Naaacuuuua joga demais!
Great guy, Rams lucky to have him. Good to hear about Cooper Kupp taking Puka under his wing too. Bodes well for LA Rams future.
This dude is so humble it’s great to watch.
Rob Havenstein is both Rob AND Big
Bro I love that he is just a kid playing in the NFL! He sounds like if me and my homies were just chatting hanging around haha
That catch against the ravens with his fingers taped up was nasty
Love😂team that just roll in🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸
Love this dude!
What a great clip
Awesome interview
PUKA 😂THE NUKA🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸
Keep up the good work
Love this guy!!
So happy here🔥🇨🇦😁🇺🇸
Pretty cool he's Robs locker mate, went to HS with Robs older sister. Love the Pooka vibes
Rams are building a dynasty
awesome. picked him up off the waiver week 2. turns out he’s a really cool dude
Bobby Trees passed his knowledge to Kupp and now he is raising Puka ✊
This is DOPE! Let’s Go Puka, & Let’s Go RAMS‼️🐏
can we keep him? haha as far as i'm concerned lets have him on whenever.
Interview puka again lmao 😂
Sean Mcvey 😂🇨🇦🔥🇺🇸
What a GREAT kid!
PUKAAAAAA
The Stafford effect (CJ, Tate, Burleson, Golladay, Kupp, Puka). He just makes receivers better.
Remember when they were saying Megatron carried him... 🙄 (Megatron still the 🐐 though)
You da man PukaNuca!!!
Personality is great 😂
man this kid is special, cant wait to watch his career for years to come
Puka is amazing!
He is the coolest. The family is also! Always has been friendly people!
Is there a more likable guy right now??? Love this dude 😂
more?
@@georgejetson1379 lol yes oops
I smiled for 15 min
Hella cool dude.
This dude shouldve been the first pick in the draft lol crazy story never even heard of this guy in college and now hes a household name in the nfl.
