Cooper Kupp Donates to Uchenna Nwosu's Foundation After Getting No. 10 Seahawks Jersey

Cooper Kupp paid his new teammate a solid after getting to keep his No. 10 jersey with the Seattle Seahawks.

Kupp explained on Tuesday that he donated to linebacker Uchenna Nwosu's foundation in return for the number he has worn his entire career.

"He's got a foundation that's doing some really good stuff here in the community and it was important for him that that be part of the exchange," Kupp said. "He was great to work with and I was able to donate to his foundation and make sure that he felt good about that. He mentioned that he's played his best football in No. 10 and it had been important to him and his time in Seattle. Clearly, the community was a big part of this whole thing. So I respect his desires there and really thankful to work something out for us."

Nwosu has worn the No. 10 jersey for his entire tenure with the Seahawks, so it likely wasn't easy to give up, but at least his foundation got a donation from Kupp in return.

According to the foundation's website, the Uchenna Nwosu Foundation aims "to promote education, health and wellness to sports-minded individuals" and provide "programs that enable youth to develop self-esteem and confidence."

Kupp's donation should help Nwosu further advance his mission off the field as the two look to have success on the field in 2025.
