It only took one practice for Rams veteran to lay claim to a new role on defense

When it comes to the Rams' secondary, there are many questions about the quality and depth of the Los Angeles Rams roster at the cornerback and safety positions. After getting plenty of playing time in a versatile role in 2024, the team seems to be focusing on placing veteran safety Quentin Lake in a more traditional safety role this season. That creates an opening for an additional defensive back in nickel and dime packages.

And that creates new opportunities for second-year defensive back Jaylen McCollough to make plays.

The Rams' safety position was bursting with talent at this time last year.
