Jacob Ralph Kupp (born March 12, 1941) is a former American football guard in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons, and the New Orleans Saints. He played college football at the University of Washington.
Kupp attended Sunnyside High School where he practiced football, basketball and baseball. He accepted a scholarship from the University of Washington, where he played offensive tackle and offensive end.
He was a part of two Rose Bowl teams and was also a pitcher for the baseball team.
Kupp was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the ninth round (116th overall) of the 1964 NFL Draft. Although he played offensive end in college, he was converted to offensive guard, where he made the NFL All-Rookie team.
He remained with the team one more year, before being traded to the Washington Redskins at the end of the 1965 season, along with Brig Owens and Mitch Johnson, in exchange for Jim Steffen and a fifth round draft choice (#119-Willie Parker).
