When you ponder the LA Rams secondary, you might be a bit concerned when you consider the state of the pass defense for the 2021 NFL season. After all, the Rams lost both safety John Johnson III and cornerback Troy Hill to NFL Free Agency, where both were scooped up by the Cleveland Browns. Now, while the Browns try to arrange their defensive backs that allow the team to deploy their best, the Rams must try to backfill the void left in their wake.
While John Johnson III was certainly the greater loss of the two, the Rams’ good fortune of stealing starting defensive back Jordan Fuller in the sixth-round of the 2020 NFL Draft truly set up the Rams to start either Taylor Rapp or Terrell Burgess this year, and feel confident that they will be able to play well enough.
