Over the past two weeks, Rams safety Quentin Lake has allowed 0.62 yards per snap from the slot which ranks ninth out of 26 defensive backs with at least 35 slot reps.
IMO, add Lake to the list of emerging players from this season. Not Nacua level but still. Man, the Rams just keep finding safeties in rounds 6 & 7. From 2019 to 2022, that’s Yeast (who has shown some promise though he had a bad play against GB), plus Lake, Scott, and Fuller. It’s exciting that they are so confident about drafting solid safeties low (they obviously have a formula) that they just don’t sign any of them after they’ve done their 4 years. It becomes a low-cost position that is also solid.
