Cooper Kupp was the best wide receiver in the NFL last season, setting all kinds of records for the incredible numbers he put up. It continued into the postseason, too, with Kupp being named Super Bowl MVP after already winning Offensive Player of the Year.
He could be on his way to adding another piece of hardware to his collection, too.
Kupp has been nominated for the Best NFL Player ESPY, which will be handed out on July 20 during the ESPYs. ESPN put out a poll on Twitter Wednesday allowing fans to vote on the four candidates (Kupp, Aaron Rodgers, T.J. Watt and Jonathan Taylor), and Kupp is absolutely crushing the competition.
About three hours since the poll opened, and at the time of this writing, Kupp leads the way with 57.8% of the votes. Aaron Rodgers is second (16.6%), with Watt (13%) and Taylor (12.6%) trailing behind. So far, about 18,000 votes have been cast and the poll will remain open for six more days.
You can vote for Kupp below.

Watt and Taylor are both great players, but this is likely to come down to Kupp and the MVP Rodgers. Kupp’s popularity skyrocketed in the last year thanks to his breakout, and fans might just put enough support behind him to land him another award.
