“Star Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp Shines in L.A. Sheriff’s Department Recruitment Video”
LASD
Cooper Kupp lent a hand this summer to try to help another team in Los Angeles beef up its roster — the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.
The star wideout recently joined his head coach, Sean McVay, and two other Rams players to film a video for the LASD in an effort to help the org recruit more talent.
Kupp, McVay, Steve Avila and Quentin Lake all appeared in the clip … with each going on-camera to encourage citizens to consider joining the Dept.
At one point during the vid, Avila — a second-year offensive lineman — called the LASD “the best team in Los Angeles.”
Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports — reps for the LASD actually reached out to Kupp about the gig … after recent recruiting efforts had been lacking.
Kupp, of course, had already built a good relationship with the deputies — bringing them free BBQ during the holidays — and was happy to oblige.
We’re told all of the NFLers now have open invites to come hang out at the Department any time they’d like — and participate in any training simulations that they want to experience.

The dudes will be a bit busy for the next few months — training camp for the 2024-25 season is already underway — but late February should be wide open if they get the itch!
