One of the best young players in the NFL is Puka Nacua. The 23-year-old wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams has dazzled both fans and experts over his two seasons in the league.
The wide receiver, a fifth-round selection from BYU, made an immediate impact with Los Angeles, which was struggling with the injury absence of standout Cooper Kupp. After being cut loose by the Rams in March, Kupp joined the Seattle Seahawks.
On a then-rookie-best 105 receptions, Nacua recorded 1,486 receiving yards, an NFL rookie record. Nacua recorded 79 receptions for 990 yards and three touchdowns the previous season, but he missed six games because of a knee ailment.
In any case, Puka’s presence on the field bodes well for the Rams.
During a dispute, Puka Nacua’s older brother slaps a fan
Many are unaware that Puka Nacua has an older brother who plays football as well. He is Samson Nacua, and he and his younger brother played together during his last year of college at BYU. The 27-year-old caught 21 passes for 329 yards and three scores in 12 games.
After serving time in the NFL, the 6’3 and 206-pound receiver now plays for the Michigan Panthers in the United Football League, a spring football league created in 2024 by the union of the XFL and USFL.

Samson caught 11 passes for 125 yards last season, and he was able to play with his 29-year-old brother, Kai Nacua.
However, Samson is currently under investigation for fighting with a supporter at a St. Louis Battlehawks vs. Michigan Panthers game. The elder Nacua slapped a man in the face after what appeared to be a yelling match between him and the Battlehawks supporter. Over the weekend, the video went viral.
The United Football League is investigating the situation, the company said in a statement.
