The Los Angeles Rams continue to put on a full-court press when it comes to recruiting Odell Beckham Jr. back to the team.
Beckham, who is recovering from a torn ACL, remains a free agent as training camps get underway across the NFL. The Rams have been vocal about their desire to bring him back, and that includes leading receiver Cooper Kupp.
Speaking to Brandon Marshall of the “I Am Athlete” podcast, Kupp listed Beckham as one of his top five wide receivers in the NFL. Marshall then asked Kupp about Beckham possibly returning to the Rams, and Kupp had a message about that.
Here's the video of Kupp ranking the WRs.

“We’re trying. I’m trying,” Kupp said.
That seems to be the sentiment around Rams camp. Coach Sean McVay has sent a similar message when speaking about Beckham this offseason.
Beckham’s return to Los Angeles is certainly no sure thing. However, if he does not return to the Rams, it certainly will not be down to a lack of effort on their part.
