Rams WR Puka Nacua Gives Hilarious Reason For Unique Diet

Puka Nacua burst onto the scene last season as the Los Angeles Rams ‘ quick answer to Cooper Kupp’s absence. What started as a solid run turned into one of the defining wide receiver seasons of the year.

As a result, Nacua is currently one of the biggest sports names in California. From endorsements to his tour around various off-season events, the world is seeing and learning more about the star pass-catcher seemingly every day.

One thing the receiver is bluntly telling people is how he facilitates his bodily functions.

According to a recent ESPN article, Nacua is a picky eater but doesn’t neglect fiber.

“Nacua doesn’t like any vegetables, listing green onions and asparagus before saying, ‘I don’t do any of those.’ And so instead, he replaces the nutrients from vegetables with watermelon and pineapple in the morning to go with his eggs and bacon.”

Nacua’s reasoning is interesting, to say the least.

“‘Those are how I get some of my fiber and stuff like that because like, hey, you got to poop somehow,'” Nacua said. “‘And I’m like, ‘I’m not getting it from any veggies.””

Nacua has always been open as a joker. In appearances on various programs during the Super Bowl’s Radio Row, he presented himself as down to earth and with a constant smile on his face. It looked like he was simply having fun no matter where he was.

Puka Nacua heads into pressure-packed second NFL season

Nacua introduced himself to the NFL with gusto. However, the league is one that can respond with force.

After a year of tape now out on the wide receiver, cornerbacks will have had plenty of time to identify weaknesses in his game. As such, they will be able to attack those, forcing Nacua to pivot to other tricks. Additionally, defensive coordinators have also had plenty of time to find a way to devote resources to minimizing his production.

From a Rams standpoint, Nacua also finds himself quietly locked in a position battle with Kupp, who took the league by storm a few years ago. While injuries have crept back into his life, Kupp is set to be 100 percent healthy this season. As such, while the team stands to benefit from both players working together from the jump, Nacua and Kupp will be locked in a competition for targets.

If Nacua can hold off Kupp and the next iteration of defenses simultaneously, he will have elevated himself into the elite tier of receivers in the NFL for the next five years.

With so much riding on 2024, will Puka Nacua deliver?
