Sports reporters Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson gushed over one of their favorite up-and-coming NFL stars in a recent episode of their 'Calm Down' podcast.
The duo, who both work at Fox Sports among other outlets, often reflect upon athletes and their words on the podcast.
After Andrews took a trip to Maryland to cover a game between the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Rams, she reflected on one interview she did with Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua.
'Puka in my interview goes, "Yeah, and it's only Week 5." I go, "It's Week 6." He didn't even know – cutie,' Andrews said.
Thompson, who saw the interview, agreed with the assessment: 'I can't handle him. I just love him so much.'
Unfortunately for Nacua, he will likely miss some game time after suffering an injury in that game against Baltimore.

Andrews called Nacua a 'cutie' after he forgot that the NFL schedule was in Week 6
On Monday, it was revealed that Nacua sprained his ankle in that game.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Nacua is expected to miss some time as he recovers from this injury.
It's highly likely (but not yet made official) that the wide receiver will miss this weekend's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday.
Nacua has not been a full participant in practice this week, leading Rams head coach Sean McVay to tell reporters that 'it'd probably be tough to say' if the wideout could suit up for the contest.
Going into the game against the Ravens, Nacua led the NFL in receiving yards and receptions.
