Rams have a long history of speed receivers who are surprises for a year or 2 then fade. Sometimes, as with Danario Alexander, it’s injuries. Sometimes they just don’t really develop a whole range of receiver skills. There’s Avery, Givens, Austin, Watkins, Atwell. Cooks to an extent but he had a little more than what I am describing and was a more solid player.
Who was the really real deal as a receiver when it comes to WRs with that kind of top speed? Holt.
Anyway. A lot of us are saying the Rams need outside speed. But that got me thinking of all their “misses” when it comes to that.
