Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay has a tough job at times. He’s tasked with sharing everything known about the team and its players, but more often than not, the information fans and media want simply isn’t available. Remarks about expectations, projections, or best guesses tend to transform from “probable” to “certain” the moment McVay utters them.
That unintended power of the press conference pulpit can be frustrating. Still, it gives McVay the ability to spotlight players in a positive way, updates fans might otherwise never hear. A perfect example is his most recent note on undrafted rookie Willie Lampkin IV, who suffered a knee/ankle injury in the second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
