All reports indicate that rookie wide receiver Konata Mumpfield will command the attention of the fans and the defense on Saturday. Everyone from head coach Sean McVay to wide receiver Davante Adams has been impressed with the seventh-round pick out of Pittsburgh. His understanding of leverage and body control led to elite separation on routes and several impressive catches throughout training camp.
Last year, then-rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington stole the show in game one of the preseason against Dallas, catching six passes for 74 yards, and then proceeded to contribute at the position during the regular season. Mumpfield, a late-round rookie receiver just like Whittington was, has drawn similar praise.
