Scouting Report: Strengths
- Knee-bend and technique are good and Cupp shows decent power when his hands hit the target.
- A coordinated athlete and tough player to tackle, running with low pad level. Has good body thickness and strength.
- Good vision to set up blocks and while he isn't quick enough to elude in tight quarters, and take advantage of a defender leaning to spring for additional yardage.
- Cupp runs like a wide receiver, explosive off the line of scrimmage with exceptional quickness and body control for his size.
- Has the burst off the snap to be split out wide in the NFL
- Good effort at the point of attack and second level as a blocker. Intelligent and will quickly acclimate to an NFL offense.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- And he’ll need to become a sharper route runner, especially on option routes, to create separation at the intermediate level.
- Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
- He’ll be coming to the NFL from a wide-open spread offense in which Cupp ran a limited route tree.
