Thats kinda cool. Hes from the spokane area. Yakima actually. Played at ECU. "Red turf" eastern washingtonu which is in cheney. About 15 mi sw of Spokane.
He grew up a seahawk fan. Hes much loved in this area.

The seahawks had problems getting the home crowd to keep their seats the past couple years. Signing Kupp- a good player in its ownright. Also a big marketing win to try and recapture the homefield advantage that comes with the "12's" not selling tic on 2ndary market.
Theres been much talk about that issue in local press.
