LA Rams undrafted rookie WR Brandon Polk is anything but Polky

Out of necessity, the LA Rams traded away a very fast but expensive wide receiver when they struck up a deal with the Houston Texans to send WR Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fifth-round pick to the Texans in exchange for the Texans 2020 second-round pick. That allowed the LA Rams to pick up the deceptively productive wide receiver Van Jefferson with the 57th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. In the process, the Rams shed a financial nightmare of a player contract in the nick-of-time to ignite some hope of retaining a few of the team’s projected 2021 free agents.
