Rams’ next breakout defensive star might be hiding in plain sight

The Los Angeles Rams are a team that seems to defy the odds in finding key contributors. While other NFL teams seem to limit their search for players who can contribute to the draft, the Rams' front office has a more open-minded policy. The team is less concerned about a player's pedigree than the player's passion. The team has been overwhelmingly successful at finding contributors after the draft concludes.

One such surprisingly effective contributor showed up in 2024. Last season, the Rams appeared to be fully stocked at safety. But the team lost veteran safety John Johnson III to injury.
