Mike LaFleur hints Rams' young weapon could hold key role vs. Eagles

It's almost impossible to imagine what Los Angeles Rams wide receiver and return specialist Jordan Whittington is thinking and feeling right now.

He rushed just once for 5 yards. He returned two kickoffs for 60 yards. And he has caught both passes thrown his way for 42 yards.

The second-year pro is quickly emerging as one of the offense's most versatile weapons, a coveted role in the eyes of his offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.

Not a bad performance, but Whittington did so much more. He returned one kickoff for 74 yards, but it was called back due to a holding penalty by linebacker Troy Reeder.
