Pro Frogs: Former TCU OL Steve Avila controlling the trenches in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Rams sorely needed offensive linemen to protect veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford after he was one of the most sacked players during the 2022-23 season. General Manager Les Snead used an early second-rounder in the 2023 NFL Draft to take former TCU standout Steve Avila, who has already earned the team’s starting job at left guard and looks like the plug-and-play interior lineman many scouts projected him to be. Avila was one of two Horned Frogs taken by the Rams earlier this year, with Los Angeles snagging TCU cornerback and Jim Thorpe Award winner Tre Tomlinson in the sixth round.
