The Los Angeles Rams have decided to move on from Alex Bachman, waiving the special teams returner as the team looks for a more dynamic option in the return game. Bachman’s limitations in acceleration, top-end speed and elusiveness ultimately made it difficult for him to establish himself as a reliable long-term solution.
Bachman had an opportunity to carve out a role with the Rams by contributing on special teams, but the return game demands more than simply securing the football. Bachman failed to hit openings quickly, make defenders miss in space, and turn promising blocking into explosive plays.
