The Nacua brothers have played football together all their lives. I imagine they played at the same high school together. Before that, grammar school or Pop Warner. I’m sure they envisioned each other playing in the NFL together. Perhaps playing on the same team in the NFL. They did accomplish the family dream as both brothers ended up playing together at the college level at BYU. One brother would be drafted and become one of the best receivers right now in the game, Puka Nacua. The other brother went undrafted and has had a cup of coffee twice in NFL training camps. Samson Nacua has played two seasons in the UFL to improve his skills thinking, “One day I will get to the NFL with my brother.” Off the field, the Nacua brothers have tarnished their family reputation in their own stupid ways. The dream has probably died because of one brothers off-the-field news. For Puka, like many wide receivers. they come off very stupid when they speak. Stupid runs in the family with these guys.

It starts with Samson Nacua tarnishing his brother’s reputation his family’s by getting caught stealing a car. Samson and his partner in crime, a guy named Trey Rose, stole a SUV off LA Lakers rookie Adou Thiero. Thiero has played in only nine games in the NBA so far. He is 21 years of age and was drafted in the first round 36th overall. The two geniuses went to a hotel somewhere in West Hollywood and checked the stolen car in with the valet services. I guess neither guy has ever seen C.S.I. The police were able to track the stolen SUV to the hotel. They seem to have forgotten to remove the GPS tracking. I can see a rookie athlete with all their money spending a pretty penny on a ride with some security systems. I think most new cars have tracking devices.

The two morons should know that the world today has video cameras all over the place. Especially at a hotel that has a valet service. Police looked at the video footage. Wham bam thank you ma’am and it’s an easy bust as they arrested Samsom and Trey on the spot. That is good police work. They made their work easy throwing a huge meat ball down the center of the plate that anybody could connect on. The worst part of this is you steal a car in the same town your brother is a professional athlete in, and from another athlete in the LA sporting landscape. What would the conversation be when Puka and Adou run into each other at the same restaurant or sports banquet? Awkward!!!!

If you have Puka Nacua on your football fantasy team, he can’t do anything wrong for you as you are happy as a clam. This year he has 119 catches for 1,639 receiving yards with 9 touchdowns for the Rams. Puka was drafted in the 5th round of the NFL 2023 draft. In three seasons so far he has 303 catches for 4,115 yards with 18 touchdowns. He’s a two time Pro-Bowler in 3 seasons. If you are a Rams fan you are ecstatic as Puka is putting up Hall of Fame numbers. All other fan bases would love to have him on their team right now. You hate watching him play against your team. This season Matthew Stafford is having a great season & the Rams are in the post season. The Rams have a shot at getting to the Superbowl. Then he opens his mouth to complain about the officiating. Saying stuff like, “The worst & they want to be on TV,” suggesting the refs are making bad calls to get their mug on your screen.

Puka Nacua went on a rant, “Some of the rules aren’t…these guys want to be. These guys are lawyers. They want to be on TV too. You don’t think he’s texting his friends in the group chat like, ‘Yo you guys just saw me on Sunday night football.’ That wasn’t pass interference, but I called it.”

Then Puka double downed on his previous comments after the Rams suffered that loss versus the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Eventually the NFL fined the wide receiver $25,000 dollars for his comments. after which he erased the stuff he wrote on social media. He apologized to his team for being a distraction. Overall his comments are not helping his team moving forward. Maybe the referees will miss a call on purpose at an important time in the post-season. I doubt it as the NFL should be monitoring what their referees are doing. The league I think will not be kind to some ref looking for revenge on Puka for his stupid comments. Players get away with stuff. Refs may not call certain things and let them play. Overall the wide receiver comments do not help his team moving forward. You know someone on the coaching staff, probably which most likely was Sean McVay the head coach of the Rams, told him to shut up and apologize immediately. Puka is not helping anyone including his own self. Play the game and do what you do is the only way to help your team win. Puka can’t control what the refs are calling. It’s better to be incognito than having a target on your back.

Samson Nacua I hope graduated from BYU and has something to fall back on instead of football. He played two seasons in the UFL for the Michigan Panthers. It is his only professional experience he has gotten in a game that counts. Yes, he did sign with the Colts and hook on with the Saints for preseason or in their camp but was cut as he never played a NFL game. In 2024, Samson caught 11 passes with the Panthers for 125 receiving yards. In 2025 he caught 9 passes for 121 yards with two touchdowns. His anger got to him after a game where video footage caught him striking a fan during an April game. It was after the game concluded when the Panthers played the BattleHawks. The UFL suspended Samson for one game after the incident.

It seems most NFL wide receivers have the foot and mouth disease. It’s very contagious as it has spread through all the teams in the league. I think Puka Nacua has learned not to use his NFL soap box as a loaded weapon against the referees. It first will make your bank account lighter, and it does not do your team any favors. Then having to deal with the embarrassment of your family. How many times had we heard about Patrick Mahomes drunken father and all of his DUIs? The deep rooted issues of Aaron Rodgers family such as how the Steelers quarterback does not have any communication with his parents and his brother. These stories could inure and hook on to Puka’s entire career now. If the Rams make the Superbowl, some reporter will ask about how his brother is doing or what’s his opinion about the referees that are calling that game. Puka should be able to escape what he said about the referees with his solid play on the field and not lashing out on social media about bad calls. If his brother is done being an idiot, life will go on and that story will be eventually be buried under the rug. These stories will go away if nothing else happens and the wide receiver just continues to play the way he does on the field. For now, the Nacua brothers have tainted their family with headlines they do not want.
