When the Los Angeles Rams entered the offseason, there was some uncertainty on who the team would play at center. With Coleman Shelton’s contract set to expire and Brian Allen released, the Rams didn’t have an active center on the roster. Following the Senior Bowl, it was thought that they could draft a center such as Jackson Powers-Johnson who dominated in drills in Mobile. Instead, the Rams confirmed what some were thinking by saying that Steve Avila would move to center, a position that he played at TCU.
Still, even with Avila moving to center, the Rams lacked depth at the position.
