At the start of the 2024 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams secondary was rostered by lightly recruited defensive backs. But after the latest trade for cornerback Roger McCreary, the secondary suddenly finds itself with two young cornerbacks who were viewed as the best of the NCAA.
The Washington Commanders selected cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. with the 16th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Tennessee Titans selected cornerback Roger McCreary with the 35th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Now, both are competing for Los Angeles. Better still, both were viewed among the top five cornerbacks of their respective draft classes.
