    Another thing I’ve been hearing the #Rams like Mike Thomas quite a bit. Someone that looked like the hottest guy in camp until the PED suspension came. Rams are definitely interested in seeing what he can do. Reynolds struggling camp could blow Thomas opportunity wide open.

    #Rams and fans will get a chance to see a lot of former sixth-round TE Temarrick Hemingway. Gerald Everett is not traveling to Baltimore so that mean’s golden opportunity for Hemingway who has had a very solid camp thus far.

    I’ve noticed the same , if you ever wondered how much mcvay likes thomas, you knew when he got suspended 4 games last year, rams had a ton of competition at the WR spot and they didn’t cut him.

    Biggest takeaway from camp today: Sammy looks every bit the part of WR1. Crisp routes, too athletic/physical for any DBs on KC roster. Most-targeted pass-catcher throughout practice. Just one day, but damn he looked good

    Rams sign all time NCAA sack leader.

    Marcus Martin.
    56 sacks.
    Even though he played DII.
    Seahawks had him in as a FB.
    Now in Rams camp as a DE.

    Slippery Rock’s Marcus Martin is easily one of the most versatile prospects available among this year’s draft class. He’s the most productive pass-rusher to ever step onto a football field, yet he’s likely to be a professional fullback. Basically, he’s Bill Belichick’s dream prospect.

    The collegiate defensive end is college football’s all-time leading sack artist at any level, amassing a whopping 56 sacks to go with 92.5 tackles for loss. Clearly, he has a knack for getting to the quarterback because he plays with good leverage, uses a wide variety of pass-rush moves and displays a level of tenacity needed to finish plays.

    However, NFL teams look at players and box them into certain positions based on body type. It’s not the most scientific way to evaluate talent, but it’s still part of the process.

    Martin measured 6’1″ and 250 pounds with 31.5-inch arms at the East-West Shrine Game, per Sporting News’ Eric Galko. As a result, he became a fullback in the eyes of many. To Martin’s credit, he had no problem serving as a lead blocker and even caught a touchdown pass during the all-star game.

    The four-time PSAC Player of the Year (one Freshman of the Year nod and three Defensive Player of the Year awards) will be given a chance to play both sides of the ball for a professional team. If his lack of length and average athleticism don’t allow him to rush the passer in certain sub-packages, he always has a home on the offensive side of the ball
