    Former Washington State CB Cam Lampkin may fit the bill. Signed after the 2024 NFL Draft, Lampkin arrives in a secondary that needs instant depth. Standing 5-foot-11 and weighing 176 pounds, Lampkin is a fearless defensive back who faced some of college football’s most lauded receivers and quarterbacks. And yet, he only allowed 28 completions out of 58 targets in 2023, with six breakups. That is a 48.3 percent completion rate.

    That is outstanding. Now layer that against his opposition. He faced both Washington (and QB Michael Penix) and Oregon (and QB Bo Nix). And that does not include wide receivers he defended, like Washington WRs Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan, Arizona WRs Jacob Cowing and Tetairoa McMillan, and Oregon WR Troy Franklin,

    That’s pretty tough competition.

    Look for a young man who is fearless, loves to be in the action, a young man who loves to get his hands in the action, can time breaking up pass plays, and who is adept at making open field tackles.

    who will 5th CB and 5th safety be? — assuming Rams keep 10 DBs

    Safeties

    Kamren Curl
    Kamren Kinchens
    Quentin Lake
    Jaylen McCollough

    Cornerbacks

    Darious Williams
    Cobie Durant
    Akello Witherspoon
    Emmanuel Forbes

    those 8 seem to be set

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2025/08/16/rams-chargers-preseason-takeaways-week-2/85696394007/?taid=68a17df8ef1d6b0001429f6b&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

    Impossible decisions loom at cornerback

    Good luck to the Rams when it comes to deciding which cornerbacks will make the 53-man roster. We know the starters are locked in and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. is just about a sure bet, too. But after that, it’s wide open.

    A.J. Green staked his claim for a roster spot on Saturday with two pass breakups. Cam Lampkin wasn’t perfect but he was great in the opener last week. Charles Woods had a nice deflection on a deep ball over the middle and even Derion Kendrick had tight coverage on an incompletion where he got a hand on it, too.

    Shaun Jolly seems to be falling behind a bit but regardless, the Rams have so many tough calls at this position.
