The 2024 season didn’t start the way Puka Nacua hoped it would, suffering a knee injury in Week 1 that would cause him to miss the next five games. He returned in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings and immediately picked up where he left off as a rookie in 2023, playing some fantastic football down the stretch.
In the 11 games he played, he caught 79 passes for 990 yards and easily would’ve eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight year had the Rams not rested their starters in the finale. As good as he was in 2023, Nacua was even better this past season, showing that all the work he put in during the offseason paid off.
From toe-tapping catches along the sideline to a spectacular diving catch in the end zone against the Patriots, Nacua made the difficult look easy in 2024. That’s very clear in the following highlight reel, which is 13 minutes of Nacua’s best plays from this past season.
