Puka Nacua x Sydney Sweeney: Fans Form the NFL’s Biggest O-Line to Help Rams WR Score
It never hurts to have a wingman or two in your corner when attempting to get a date, even when you're an NFL star like Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua. That was the case when Nacua's response to a post featuring actress Sydney Sweeney explaining what she looks for in a partner spread like viral wildfire on social media. While Nacua's response to the post featured just two words, it was enough for NFL fans as a whole to flock to his aid, put on their wingman game face and get ready to throw all their support behind the Rams star.

The original comments from Sydney about what she seeks in a potential partner came from an interview with Cosmo, posted on X Complex, and they featured some extremely athletic tasks. Not surprisingly, Nacua's athletic talents apparently go beyond just the football field, and made that much known.
"Athletic and outgoing and funny. I’m a sporty girl, so someone needs to be able to climb a mountain with me, go skydiving with me. And someone who loves their family. I love myself a man…" Sweeney said to Cosmo.
Later in the day, Nacua quote-posted the message on X and wrote a simple response:
"Love skydiving," the Rams wide receiver replied.
And that two-word response was enough to fire up the biggest group of wingmen imaginable—NFL fans from all over. From the looks of it, people flocked to support Nacua shooting his shot, regardless of which team they support.

The action heated up quickly, as the Pardon My Meme X account was quick to ensure it nailed down both the aspects of skydiving and mountain climbing, as Sweeney mentioned.
"Puka thanks for teaching me everything I know about skydiving while we were mountain climbing," the account replied.
This was just one of many responses from NFL reporters, former players and various popular football-related accounts. That includes the Sleeper NFL X account, as the fantasy mobile app replied, "thanks for letting me borrow your truck Puka."
Former NFL quarterback and current analyst Dan Orlovsky also threw in his support for Nacua, stating, "Let's go Puka."
The jokes continued to fly in, with one fan stating:
"Remember that time you climbed a mountain to save that puppy and then sky dived back down then loaned me $10k? That was awesome."
There were also some excellent memes and clips of incredible shots from various basketball games dropped in.

Another response to Nacua's viral comment, read:
"Hey Puka, thanks for rescuing my dog from the top of that mountain. Such a family guy too."
The reactions featured no shortage of fans thanking the Rams wideout for "saving my dog" or rescuing other various forms of family pets. However, arguably one of the best replies, which hit on all cylinders, came from another whose wingman efforts deserve a tip of the cap.
"I remember that time we were mountain climbing and you said “this is cool, but I do wish we were skydiving.” I wanted to ask more but you went off the path to go help that injured baby deer," the reply read.
"Anyway, thanks again for getting us lunch after too."
While Nacua's quick response to the Sweeney comment went viral, it's hard not to appreciate the widespread support he received from the NFL community.
