ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Has more than enough competitiveness and toughness. Sees the holes and makes good decisions when the ball is in his hands. Has decent strength and falls forward to finish runs. Courageous pass protector. Understands protection schemes — who to block and when to release. Works his feet to stay in front of blitzers and is technically sound.

WEAKNESSES Below-average athlete. Dull runner lacking improvisation. Shake and acceleration are missing from his game. What you see is what you get. Can break tackles here and there but isn’t a punisher. Can catch throws to him but must improve at adjusting to poor throws out of backfield. Didn’t impress enough to get a bigger piece of the pie among LSU running backs.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 7 or priority free agent

SOURCES TELL US “He doesn’t really do any one thing all that great, but he’s solid at everything you ask him to do. He’s not special, but I would draft him down the line.” — NFC area scout

BOTTOM LINE Limited, dime-a-dozen running back who will get some attention from teams for his willingness to stick his nose into blitzers and protect the quarterback on third downs. Has just three kickoff returns over last two seasons, so he’s likely a camp body who must find a way to shine with limited reps.

Rams Add Depth with Four Free Agents

The Rams have added some depth pieces to their roster, signing four free agents to start the second week of OTAs.

Los Angeles signed defensive tackle Cam Thomas, quarterback Dylan Thompson, tight end Benson Browne, and running back Terrence Magee.

Originally drafted by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2010 draft, Thomas has played in 85 games over his NFL career, starting 25. He played his first four years in San Diego, registering 6.0 sacks. He then signed with the Steelers in 2014, appearing in 31 games over the last two seasons mainly as a rotational player.

Thomas, who turns 30 on Dec. 12, likely figures in as a similar rotational piece for Los Angeles.

Thompson, Browne, and Magee recently had workouts with the Rams and each were impressive enough to catch on with the club.

Thompson spent 2015 with the 49ers after signing with the club as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. In his senior season, Thompson led the SEC in yards passing with 3,564. Thompson also played with Rams rookie receiver Pharaoh Cooper in college.

Magee bounced between the Ravens active roster and practice squad throughout the 2015 season after signing with the club as a UDFA out of LSU. He recorded two carries in his limited playing time. Baltimore waived Magee in May.

Browne is a rookie, having played his college ball at N.C. State where he was mainly a blocking tight end.

For their corresponding roster moves, the Rams have waived wide receiver Kain Colter and linebacker Zack Hodges. Defensive tackle Doug Worthington has also been released.

And wide receiver Stedman Bailey has also been waived with a non-football injury distinction. Head coach Jeff Fisher is scheduled to speak with the media after tomorrow’s OTA practice, and will likely address Bailey’s situation.
