DL Michael Hoecht On Making The Rams’ Roster & His Respect For Aaron Donald | Rams Revealed Ep. 71
On the latest edition of Rams Revealed, J.B. Long is joined by Los Angeles Rams DL Michael Hoecht as they discuss his journey from the Ivy League to the NFL, how hard work and determination propelled him to 53-man roster this season, and why the work ethic of Aaron Donald is so inspiring to him.
I – Michael Hoecht
One of the first to pique enthusiasm was the unexpected signing of Brown University’s defensive tackle Michael Hoecht. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 290 pounds, while posting a 40-yard dash time of 4.65-seconds. He is a former high school running back, so that fullback position is still a possibility in the LA Rams 2020 offense. He also recorded 23 reps of 225 pounds during his virtual pro day.Hoecht is listed as a defensive tackle, where he recorded 17 sacks and 158 tackles. That is not his only role, as he clearly has the speed and power to rush a passer as a defensive end in a 3-4 defensive front. Since he has both an offense and defense background, he truly offers the Rams a virtual blank slate to rework his football career in the role that most suits him on the team. He was also drafted by the Canadian Football League, so if he does not land a roster spot on the Rams, he will have other football opportunities in the near future.
