Are you ready for this? Perhaps you’d better sit down, because this is pretty unbelievable. Just two seasons after the retirement of All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald, the Los Angeles Rams have reformed a rather formidable defensive front. This is not just pre-game hype. This is a bona fide fact, and the same team that put up 16 quarterback sacks in two playoff games last season may be even better this year.
The path to this point hasn’t been easy. The front office invested heavily in the defensive line in each of the past two NFL Drafts, leaning into edge rushers and down linemen with two early selections in both 2023 and 2024.
