Former Rams coach tells Aaron Donald draft story: ‘This is the best player on the board’

Mike Waufle was hired by Jeff Fisher in 2012 to be the St. Louis Rams’ defensive line coach and it could turn out to be the smartest thing that the former head coach ever did. The Rams selected Michael Brockers with the 14th overall pick that year and Waufle helped develop him into a solid lineman whose career is still going 10 years later.

But it was Waufle’s eye for defensive tackle talent in 2014 that changed the organization forever and has helped them reach two Super Bowls since Waufle, Fisher, and most of that regime was fired.
