Super Bowl LX: 6 Christians playing in the big game
6. Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp, who currently plays for the Seahawks as a wide receiver, has repeatedly acknowledged his Christian faith throughout his NFL career, most of which was spent with the Los Angeles Rams.
In 2022, Kupp spoke after the Rams won Super Bowl LVI, declaring, “God is so good.”
Kupp also detailed that, after hearing directly from God following his team’s loss in Super Bowl LIII three years earlier, he was told the Rams would win the Super Bowl.
“From the moment this postseason started, there was just a belief every game that it was written already,” Kupp said. “It was written already, and I just got to play free knowing that I got to play from victory, not for victory. I got to play in a place where I was validated, not from anything that happened on the field but because of my worth in God and my Father.”
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network nearly a decade ago, Kupp said that “God created me to play this game."
"That is where my fuel comes from," he explained. "Everything I do is to glorify God, and I’m playing for nothing but Him. When I step on the field, I can feel His pleasure.”
“I’m walking this path just like so many of my Christian brothers and sisters are. And I strive for my relationship with Christ to become closer every day, and there are battles every day. But to know God’s grace is plentiful as it is sufficient is going to fill that. And I’ve experienced it throughout my entire life,” he added.
