We hear this message each offseason from the Los Angeles Rams and have rarely seen it backup up:
“We plan to deploy more 12 personnel this year.”
Once again that is the message from Sean McVay after his team selected Oregon TE Terrance Ferguson in the second round. Ferguson can be both the heir apparent to veteran Tyler Higbee and be deployed short-term on the field at the same time, at least according to their plan.
But we’ve seen this movie before, and that should give us pause about McVay’s plan for his rookie tight end:
2017 - Rams drafted Gerald Everett in second round
McVay cut his teeth coaching TE’s with the Washington Redskins.
