    from Five under-the-radar NFL players in contract year primed for breakout seasons in 2025: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/five-under-the-radar-nfl-players-in-contract-year-primed-for-breakout-seasons-in-2025/

    After being surprisingly selected by the Rams at No. 57 overall in the 2021 draft, which immediately was followed by an injury-plagued rookie season, the tiny speedster from Louisville has quietly improved his efficiency as a receiver the past two seasons.

    Atwell’s catch rate has gone from 51.4% (2022) to 59.1% (2023) to 68.9% (2024). As a rookie he posted a yards-per-route-run figure of 1.67 (including the postseason). Last year, it was a hefty 2.24 on 259 routes.

    Every coach on the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree wants a small burner to threaten vertically — and even on jet sweeps — within the offense — the Rams didn’t make Atwell a top 60 pick four years ago for no reason. The overwhelming majority of attention will be paid to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and rightfully so.

    That’ll leave Atwell as a beneficiary of minimal over-the-top safety help, which is bad news for defenses given his 4.39 speed. In his final year of his rookie deal, Atwell will move into more of a prominent role in the Rams’ 11 personnel-heavy attack and continue his upward trajectory as a niche asset who’ll perfectly complement Los Angeles’ uber-efficient superstar receivers not known for their pure speed.

    from PFF: Every NFL team’s top three players entering the 2025 season — https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-every-nfl-team-top-three-players-2025-season?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=null#LAR

    LOS ANGELES RAMS

    WR PUKA NACUA
    QB MATTHEW STAFFORD
    EDGE JARED VERSE

    Nacua led the NFL with a 93.0 receiving grade and posted the highest non-quarterback WAR on the team at 0.56. Stafford saw his WAR dip from 3.38 in 2023 to 1.81 in 2024, but he remains one of the league’s most clutch quarterbacks. Verse burst onto the scene as a rookie, generating an 85.3 pass-rush grade and 89 total pressures.
