CBS Sports’ Zachary Pereles named Rams edge rusher Byron Young, who is now in a much bigger shadow with Garrett opposite him, as the Rams’ top under-the-radar breakout candidate for 2026.
It can be difficult to find an under-the-radar star on a team with so many very much on-the-radar stars, but Byron Young fits the bill here. He has already played very well — PFF had him as the No. 10 EDGE in the NFL last year — and now he’ll get a ton of one-on-one opportunities with Myles Garrett on the opposite side. Last year, Young notched 12 sacks and made his first Pro Bowl, but he probably wouldn’t come to mind if you had to list the Rams’ top stars. Still, he appears to be on his way to becoming one.
