Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams traded a first-round pick for Trent McDuffie and immediately signed him to a record-setting $124 million contract, but is he the best cornerback in the NFL? Is he in the top-5 or the top-10? At least one person who spoke to ESPN didn’t have McDuffie ranked in the top-10 and his overall score put him behind four other corners in the league.
In a survey of coaches, execs, and scouts, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler shared that McDuffie ranked as the fifth-best cornerback in the NFL behind Pat Surtain, Derek Stingley, Christian Gonzalez, and Devon Witherspoon.

Despite ranking sixth in rushing yards last season, Kyren Williams only got an “honorable mention” on a recent top-10 running backs list at ESPN, an order determined by a survey of execs, coaches, and scouts. But it could be less of an indictment on Williams and more of a credit to the Rams offensive line. Williams did rush for 1,252 yards and only five backs had more in 2025, but the offensive line ranked first in a key stat.
The L.A. Rams ranked first in Adjusted Line Yards by a wide margin, per FTN Fantasy:

Yesterday, I wrote about the Rams captain classes from previous seasons. Now, its time to predict who the Rams will choose for their 2026 season. The Rams value a strong locker room and have a number of candidates who appear worthy of wearing the “C” on their uniform. The players will cast their votes, but who do you want to see leading the locker room on and off the field? Here is a player-by-player case for the likely candidates…
Easy vote. Stafford has been a captain since he walked in the door in 2021. This will...

There are always potential breakout candidates across the NFL, and that’s not unique to the Los Angeles Rams. What is unique to the Rams is they have a very real chance to compete for a Super Bowl in 2026. In order to succeed they are likely going to need a complete roster to make that happen. They are going to need some players to breakout.
Who will those players be? Will they breakout in a major way or minor way? The variables are ample. Ideally the Rams will find some new leaders on special teams given how much that unit...

There has been little debate over who the brightest offensive mind in football has been over the past decade, but now Pro Football Focus has gone one step further. In its rankings entering the 2026 season, PFF named Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay as the best head coach in the NFL, placing him ahead of some of the league’s biggest names.
PFF’s top 10 head coach rankings are:

If the Rams end up needing another quarterback next year, whether it’s because Matthew Stafford retired, and/or Stetson Bennett is no longer on the roster, then the currently jobless Brendan Sorsby would be a great option in the 2027 draft.
Unable to play in the NFL, the CFL, or for a college program in 2026, Sorsby will be taking a year off following his sports gambling scandal at the NCAA level, betting on Indiana’s games while he was a member of the team. The NFL has separated itself from Sorsby this year by deciding to not have a supplemental draft,...

Do you have something you really want to get off of your chest about the L.A. Rams or the NFL? Do you have a hot take about the 49ers or Seahawks?

Do you have an idea for a poll or a survey that you want to put forth to the Rams community and get an answer?
Well, you have had the ability to do that the entire time!

Since taking over the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, Sean McVay has built far more than a winning football team. He has established a culture centered on selflessness, accountability, and putting the team above individual recognition. The phrase “We Not Me” has become synonymous with the McVay era, serving as the foundation for everything from roster construction to leadership within the locker room. Players aren’t chosen as captains simply because they’re the biggest stars or produce the most statistics. Instead, the honor is reserved for those who consistently embody the values the organization believes lead to sustained success—leadership, consistency, professionalism,...

The Los Angeles Rams start 2026 training camp in under three weeks, with all players reporting on July 25. From Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua and Myles Garrett, the Rams have plenty of star power who command attention every time they play or practice. But they won’t be alone.
Here are six other players who will demand a lot of attention when camp starts at the end of the month.
Not only is Simpson going to be the biggest story at Rams training camp, he will be one of the biggest stories at any training camp....

Every immediate move that the Los Angeles Rams have made this offseason is a move that helps the defense. The Rams didn’t do anything to help the offense next season—that we know about yet, at least.
Third-round pick Keagan Trost could be the closest to seeing the field, among new players on offense. Every single starter, and most of the key backups, were on L.A.’s roster last year. So will it be the same? Yes and no.
These 5 predictions will be familiar, but different.
The additions of Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie, and...

The Los Angeles Rams had a great 2025 season, but one thing that held them back was their secondary unit who seemed to give up big plays at the worst times, and for whatever reason, they weren’t consistent. To be fair, at times L.A. defense was great all around, but that wasn’t often enough.
Going into this year the Rams are revamping their defense and that should lead to competition and roster battles all throughout. That’s a good thing as it should lead the Rams to having the best roster they can in 2026.
Some players we have come to...

The Los Angeles Rams’ offseason signing of cornerback Jaylen Watson has recently been lost in the shuffle. It’s probably fair because the trade acquisitions of Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett figure to be monumental for the team. On draft day the selection of Ty Simpson earned more headlines than nearly any other move by the Rams. Now Aaron Donald’s potential return is also garnering a lot of eyeballs.
But Watson was one of the best additions the team made all season. That was true in March and it is ever true today.
If we compare LA’s new cornerback to the...
