Puka has really blown up over night with the endorsements, attention, etc. Look at his social media. With his endearing personality, he has really taken off, far more so than even other elite NFL rookies. Being in L.A. might be part of it.

Hopefully the stardom does not get to him and he stays focused and productive. There is no reason to believe he will let this impact him on field. All indications are positive to date. Just saying. It is something that has crossed my mind. He's a young dude and only human.

He does look a bit leaner to me this off-season. A bit less bulk. Not necessarily a bad thing. But with the style he plays and how many hits he takes, that bulk could be useful.

I would prefer him to bulk up muscle wise, but as long as he gets faster and keeps his strength, the being thinner can also be a good thing.

Congrats and well deserved. Not only a top-notch player but a top-notch kid too. He'll rep them well.

I remember people saying Gurley was focusing too much on his brand and not enough on his game. It can happen with young guys. The good news is Puka's working out with Kupp. Kupp is a pro's pro. He can keep Puka grounded and understanding the play is what's most important.

Hopefully it doesn't go to his head.

Have you been watching him. That’s the last thing I’d worry about him.
My concern is his plate getting too full with endorsements and media requests.
On another note - the worry about a R1/R2 WR this getting a bigger contract than Nacua is a non-issue.

I’m not worried but in another posting someone indicated Nacua might be miffed if a WR was selected R1/R2 this year and was paid more than Nacua. Endorsements for one should make that a non-issue.

Been saying it for a good while now.. he's marketing gold.
If he stays healthy, he'll be one of the most popular players in the league.

The good news? He's following Kupp's lead on offseason work... taking care of his body. I'm not worried about focus or ego issues, at all.

Rake that $$ in, Puka.. and enjoy the ride!!
