In recent seasons the weakest link of the defense for the Los Angeles Rams has been in the middle at inside linebacker. Since Sean McVay joined the team in 2017, the Rams have plugged players in at MLB that haven’t had much success in their respective careers outside of Los Angeles.
Cory Littleton was probably the best of the bunch during his two years in the starting lineup, as he excelled in coverage and was an important part of the 2018 defense that earned a Super Bowl berth. Littleton left as a free agent after the 2019 season and lasted only two years on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster.
