The Los Angeles Rams front office certainly took some risks this offseason. But no segment of the roster decision-making process was more controversial than the decision to stick with the same 2024 defensive backs for 2025. No reinforcements were added, despite the pleas of fans and the opinions of many NFL Draft analysts.
Los Angeles was confident in a secondary because it showed flashes of brilliance in the playoffs, surrendering an average of 114.0 net passing yards per game. Even now, after four games, the secondary is much improved, boasting 186.0 net passing yards per game, good enough to be tied for ninth best in the NFL.
