znModeratori’ve read mcvay saying really positive things about whittington. this report has good things to say about mumpfield. i haven’t read anything on atwell, but competition for the third wr looks like something to look for in training camp. each seem to bring different skills. but also ferguson should be competing with those three for reps. that’ll be fun to keep track of.
Receiver 3 could be a circus, with different players in there constantly–Atwell and Whittington at least, and maybe Mumpfield even as a rookie. Add in Ferguson as a move TE, as you said, and we could see a lot of new wrinkles.
The problem is outside speed. Whittington and Mumpfield are not burners.

znModeratorRising Rams Player Has Caught McVay’s Attention in OTAs
https://www.si.com/nfl/rams/los-angeles-jordan-whittington-sean-mcvay-matthew-stafford-davante-adams
The Los Angeles Rams’ offseason has been filled with notable additions. The Rams have added talent across the board, as they aim to pick up where they left off last season. After a disappointing playoff loss that was nearly a win, the Rams look poised to march back to the postseason.
The Rams’ roster has taken strides this offseason. Los Angeles has many new faces, but a player who was already on the roster has arrived at Organized Team Activities exceptionally prepared.
Rams Head Coach Sean McVay credited second-year wide receiver Jordan Whittington with a strong showing in OTAs.
“It’s funny, I was just talking to him out on the field. What I think is great is when guys put the work in and they just continue to show I’m getting better and better and I’m creating value, whether that’s on teams or whether that’s doing a great job within his role as a receiver, you can see the accumulation of experiences led to a confidence, ability to be able to fill in when needed,” McVay said.
“Thought he had a really good day today. You can see he’s just got a real comfort level in terms of what’s being asked. What’s the intent of some of these plays? What are the route nuances, and where do I fit within these concepts? And so I’ve just been really proud of the progress, the maturity. But when you talk to people, going back to his time at Texas, this is who he’s been. He’s been all that and more with us, and today was an excellent step in the right direction for him.”
McVay reportedly entered the offseason desiring to make the Rams’ offense more explosive. The addition of Davante Adams undoubtedly helps make that happen. However, Matthew Stafford has a history of assisting lesser-known wide receivers to excel. He will need to do so again this season.
The Rams have one of the best rosters in the league, but it will take every player on the roster to help Los Angeles make the type of postseason run many believe they are capable of. They have one of the best head coaches and quarterbacks in the league to help make it happen.
Still, up-and-coming players like Whittington will be vital to the Rams’ chances of success this upcoming season. The future looks bright in Los Angeles; time will tell how bright that future is.
znModerator3 Observations on Rams OTA No. 1
https://www.si.com/nfl/rams/konata-mumpfield-los-angeles-sean-mcvay-emmanuel-forbes-davante-adams
The Los Angeles Rams were flying at OTAs and we were on sight to observe it all. Here are three observations from Wednesday’s activities.
1. Konata Mumpfield made himself known
Konata Mumpfield was absolutely brilliant on the day. He showed off his ball tracking skills on an underthrown pass by Jimmy Garoppolo, but it was a constant ability to snatch balls out of the sky that truly exemplified how he dazzled.
Mumpfield was consistent in his approach and execution, putting together some great film as he battles for his opportunities.
Mumpfield is a legitimate NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate. His skills from college have not only translated, but with improved quarterback play, those skills have evolved. His candidacy will likely depend not on whether he’s able to execute on opportunities, but is more dependent on opportunities being called to come his way.
2. The Defensive Back room is putting in the work
Sean McVay made sure to mention how important it was to have Ahkello Witherspoon at OTAs. Witherspoon missed the last two OTAs despite being on the Rams roster during the 2023 and 2024 season as both times he was signed after the start of the regular season.
McVay also commented on Cobie Durant’s development while Emmanuel Forbes and Shaun Jolly made interceptions during team periods. Jolly intercepted a pass, making an athletic grab while diving to the ground after the receiver in front of him slipped, while Forbes was in the right position to not only snag the ball but stayed on his feet to make a return.
Jolly is fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster while Forbes looks to improve after not meeting expectations with the Washington Commanders and failing to break into the Rams’ defense due to his late arrival to the team.
3. Davante Adams is simply that dude.
Adams is already a favorite of Matthew Stafford as the two men work to develop their consistency and chemistry. Adams made play after play, notably using his body to box out Derion Kendrick on a bullet fired towards him. Perhaps Stafford has modern versions of Calvin Johnson and Cooper Kupp in Adams and Puka Nacua.
Adams and the offense took care of business in practice, but in the same breath, defensive coordinator Chris Shula and assistant head coach Aubrey Pleasant had the defense humming, flying to the ball. It was a great day of iron sharpening iron with effort levels going through the roof.

znModeratorAaron Donald’s Top Career Plays
znModeratorConsidering the state of the position, the undrafted Shaun Dolac may have as much of a chance to make their roster and possibly contribute as Paul does.
from https://www.the33rdteam.com/shaun-dolac-2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report/
Scouting Overview
Buffalo Bulls linebacker Shaun Dolac is an instinctive playmaker who has done well to maximize his abilities, thanks to excellent football IQ and underrated athleticism. He’s not a big linebacker, and his pro projection is muddied by his lack of length and lack of mass.
Still, there have been enough successful linebackers out of this mold as of late that suggest he’s got a puncher’s chance of fulfilling his potential at the pro level. That potential? A three-down starter. Dolac is tougher than his size and plays a frantic brand of football.
Positives
Play by play tackle machine with a career missed tackle rate of 7.5%
Productive middle-of-the-field zone defender with good eyes to drop into secondary throwing windows
Loose hips and a low center of gravity make for fluid changes of direction in spaceNegatives
For being an undersized talent, he’s not the most explosive or twitchy player
Played in just four games in 2023 before a season-ending injury and then finished 2024 with an elbow brace
Will be a 24-year-old rookie in September while coming from the MACTale Of The Tape
Dolac is a cerebral linebacker who has been the big fish in a small pond during his three-year run of terror through the MAC. There’s an obvious transition ahead of him, and he may not have the ideal traits to fit as a universal stack linebacker for every scheme.
However, his 2024 season showcased capable zone coverage work over the middle. Dolac offered good peripheral vision to feel routes crossing through his zone landmarks and enough mobility to flash and take away throwing windows.
He was disciplined with his eyes while plastering receivers and made additional plays on the football at the catch point. He lacks length and an explosive burst to jump throwing windows and will be more opponent error-oriented, but his anticipation of longer, developing routes in traffic could still yield opportunities.
As a run defender, Dolac offers Energizer Bunny effort and pursuit to the football. He’s the fastest-moving player on the field once the play declares, and he takes angles that allow him to hawk down ball carriers or otherwise press them out of bounds. Despite his size and lack of length, he was credited with a 5 percent missed tackle rate in 2024 and has success in the open field and at the line of scrimmage plugging gaps.
It is fair to question whether Dolac is properly suited for racing downhill against bigger ball carriers. His size will always be a natural barrier that he will need to circumvent with good form and proper hat placement.
Dolac will also need to ensure he’s adjusted his decision-making process regarding when to shoot gaps and attack downhill. When entering into the front, he is in danger of getting plastered to blocks and lacks the wingspan, reach, and block deconstruction ability to pull himself free.
He’s a sharp and fast decision-maker with confidence, but the point of no return on his rep fitting and shooting to run under blocks may be a threat if he can’t get home. These plays will hit faster and more intensely at the pro level.
Ideal Scheme Fit, Role
Dolac projects as a scheme-specific developmental starter. He’s ideally a space player who thrives as an attacking defender when given the opportunity to use his vision and instincts.
He has enough athleticism to play zone and hit his landmarks. He’d be best served playing behind an aggressive front.

19. Alaric Jackson, Los Angeles Rams
Despite missing the first two games of the season due to a suspension, Jackson broke out in a contract year. And the Rams rewarded him with a new contract.After earning PFF overall grades of 64.1 and 66.6 in the previous two seasons and ranking outside the top 30 in both years, Jackson finished the 2024 campaign with an 18th-ranked 78.4 PFF overall grade. His 4.5% pressure rate allowed was also a career high and ranked 18th at the position.
28. Rob Havenstein, Los Angeles Rams
The 33-year-old Havenstein’s best years are probably behind him. Despite earning an 80.0-plus PFF overall grade in three out of four seasons between 2018 and 2021, the Wisconsin product has failed to reach that threshold since.In 2024, he recorded a 75.8 PFF overall grade — his second-lowest mark over the past five seasons and the 25th-ranked figure among offensive tackles. Havenstein remains among the better run-blocking offensive tackles after posting a 79.6 PFF run-blocking grade in 2024 to rank 13th among offensive tackles.

Rams signed former Vikings OT David Quessenberry to a one-year deal, the team announced…

Position: Offensive tackle
NFL draft: 2013: 6th round, 176th pickIn his free agency wanderings, he signed with Buffalo in 2022. As it happens, that year Rams OL coach Ryan Wendell was the Bills assistant OL coach. So obviously it’s safe to assume Wendell vouched for him.
He has started 30 games in the NFL, at both LOT and ROT. He started the entire season at ROT for the Titans in 2021, and after that season PFF gave him a total grade of 80.9, which…based just on reading their whole OL ranking article for 2021…would put him at 16th among all starting OTs, left and right (that’s here: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2021-offensive-line-rankings ).
Early in his NFL career, he had–and obviously beat–non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
I hope he works out. As others have said, on paper at least he could fit nicely as a veteran 3rd tackle backing up either side, left or right.

6. Los Angeles Rams
I’m just begging the Rams’ offensive line to stay healthy in 2025, because this group should be scintillating if it can. Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua are already must-see TV, and now Davante Adams — even at the age of 32 — should lend a vertical, downfield element to the offense. The backfield, led by Kyren Williams, is strong, and the Rams just juiced their tight end depth by drafting Terrance Ferguson in the second round. With Sean McVay overseeing the playcalling, I legitimately think this could be the Rams’ best offense since that incredible 2018 group that reached Super Bowl LIII.
znModeratorHigbee could be on his way out in a contract year after the Rams selected Oregon’s Terrance Ferguson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Higbee could be on his way out in a contract year after the Rams selected Oregon’s Terrance Ferguson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He is coming off an injury-shortened 2024 season but has been productive when healthy. His 79.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024 shows he has good play left in the tank, but at 32 years old, his prime is behind him.
znModeratorfrom PFF, 2025 NFL Roster Rankings: Strengths, weaknesses and X-factors for every starting lineup
— https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2025-roster-rankings-strengths-weaknesses-x-factors#LAR6. Los Angeles Rams
Biggest strength in 2024: Wide receivers
Led by Puka Nacua and his NFL-best 92.6 PFF receiving grade, the Rams’ wide receiver unit topped the league with an 85.9 PFF receiving grade. Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson also played well, though Kupp and Robinson departed this offseason. Nevertheless, Los Angeles countered by adding Davante Adams via free agency, so the team should still have a dangerous arsenal of weapons for Matthew Stafford to throw to.
Biggest weakness in 2024: Pass protection
Matthew Stafford is still one of the league’s best quarterbacks when given a clean pocket. The problem last season was that his team recorded the third-worst PFF pass-blocking grade in the NFL. The Rams won seven of the eight games in which they posted at least a 62.5 PFF pass-blocking grade. They lost seven of the 11 games when they failed to hit that mark, including their divisional-round loss to the Eagles. If Los Angeles can improve its pass protection, the team can compete for a championship.
X-factor for 2025: G Steve Avila
After posting a solid 65.0 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2023, left guard Steve Avila saw his 2024 season marred by an early injury. He also lost valuable preseason reps at guard while going through a temporary trial at center. The Rams will need Avila to greatly improve upon his 50.6 PFF pass-blocking grade from last season in order to protect their aging quarterback.
Rookie to watch: EDGE Josaiah Stewart
Jared Verse instantly became one of the NFL’s best edge defenders as a rookie in 2024, but the Rams did not have another defensive lineman record at least a 70.0 PFF pass-rush grade. Third-round rookie Josaiah Stewart should add some punch after recording an elite 92.3 PFF pass-rush grade at Michigan last season. Despite his lack of size, he also led the Power Four with an incredible 27.7% pass-rush win rate. He could carve out an early role as a situational pass rusher.

notes from the Rams’ first day of organized team activities (OTAs)
(As a reminder, the team enforces a media policy that prohibits reporting specifics about the depth chart, plays and formations or other such details.)
• McVay was asked again whether the Rams remain open to trading for Dolphins star cornerback Jalen Ramsey after Miami expressed a willingness to facilitate a trade this offseason. Again, the head coach didn’t rule out the possibility or downplay the Rams’ interest, saying, “We would never close out those opportunities,” but added that the Rams and Dolphins have not recently had “meaningful” dialogue on the matter.
McVay also said he doesn’t believe the team needs to add more players to the secondary (outside of Ramsey, who would be a unique case) and cited cornerback Emmanuel Forbes’ development after arriving in L.A. late last season and cornerback Derion Kendrick’s return to the field (Kendrick can play outside or in the slot). Forbes did jump a route during a team period and intercepted backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
• Third year star receiver Puka Nacua had an excused absence from Wednesday’s practice as he returns from a trip with his mother. Second-year receiver Jordan Whittington took on a significant portion of Nacua’s workload and made several tough catches across the middle and sealed off the edge on more than one occasion during run plays, which drew praise from some coaches. (Note that real contact is not allowed during these practices.)
• Veteran receivers Davante Adams and Tutu Atwell also made their presence felt. In seven-on-sevens, Adams stretched vertically for a contested catch won against Kendrick. Meanwhile, Atwell caught a deep pass for a touchdown after getting two steps on his defender in 11-on-11s. Rookie seventh-round pick Konata Mumpfield made a tough catch in coverage, with a second defender closing down over the top of his route.
• Inside linebacker Omar Speights and safeties Kamren Kinchens and Quentin Lake worked to the side with athletic training staff during part of the team period.
• Right tackle Rob Havenstein is not practicing as he recovers from offseason procedures on both shoulders. He said earlier this spring that he expects to be ready for training camp. The Rams have been developing third-year offensive lineman Warren McClendon as a backup swing tackle.
• Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick attended Wednesday’s practice and spoke with the team. “There’s so much crossover in leadership and the platform that we’re blessed to be able to have,” said McVay, who initially met Redick shortly before the latter accepted the Lakers job in 2024.
znModeratorJ.B. Long@JB_Long

znModerator10 Observations from Rams’ first OTA practice of 2025 offseason program: Excused Puka Nacua absence, Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell’s playmaking, and more
Stu Jackson
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – The Rams held their first OTA practice on Wednesday. While wide receiver Puka Nacua was not on the field due to an excused absence, that afforded additional snaps and opportunities to fellow receivers Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington to build their connection with quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Here are some of the notes and observations from it:
1) Nacua excused absence due to “special trip” with family: McVay said the wide receiver had been in communication about this trip a couple months in advance and is returning from it today, which is why he wasn’t on the field for the team’s OTA workout. (And it’s worth reiterating these workouts are voluntary until minicamp).
2) Kyren Williams present for OTAs: Even as the Rams running back heads into the final year of his contract, he was present for the team’s first OTA workout of the spring.
“Kyren has been the same stud that we know,” head coach Sean McVay said. “Great demeanor, great willingness to come out here, to work, to be able to get better. He’s been great in terms of our communication. It means a lot, just because, you don’t minimize those things are real, and those are real things that guys have to navigate.”
3) Extended look at Stafford-Adams connection: Nacua’s absence naturally created more opportunities for Matthew Stafford to look new wide receiver Davante Adams’ way throughout team drills Wednesday. The tempo and body control Adams is known for playing with was on display on one pass he snared from Stafford over the middle during 11-on-11 work.
4) Competitive mix: As added context, the Rams maintained the same approach with pitting the projected first-team offense against the first-team defense, first-team offense against the second-team defense and vice-versa, and so on.
5) Play of the day: Stafford had a deep touchdown pass over the middle to wide receiver Tutu Atwell, with Atwell displaying the speed he’s known for when given the opportunity to make plays.
6) Play of the day, Part II: Nacua’s absence also meant more opportunities for second-year receiver Jordan Whittington on Wednesday. His best catch of the day was a leaping, two-handed grab on a corner route toward the sideline.
7) Getting to see what Forbes can do: Third-year cornerback Emmanuel Forbes didn’t see a ton of action after being claimed late last season off waivers from the Commanders, at least until Week 18 against Seattle when Los Angeles rested its starters and gave him 52 defensive snaps and four special teams snaps, according to Pro Football Focus (McVay said Wednesday he thought Forbes “did some really good stuff” in that game). On Wednesday, he intercepted a Jimmy Garoppolo pass intended for wide receiver Xavier Smith on an out-breaking route near the sideline.
8) Jolly on the spot: Cornerback Shaun Jolly corralled an interception Wednesday on a Matthew Stafford pass.
Playmaking like that from Jolly and Forbes is likely why McVay said he feels really good about the development of the group, and where the secondary as a whole is at.
9) Derion Kendrick participating: McVay said it was “good to see” the fourth-year cornerback out there. Kendrick’s season ended prematurely last year due to a torn ACL sustained in the first week of camp.
10) Special visitor: Lakers coach JJ Redick took in Wednesday’s OTA workout, and also spoke with Rams players.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said he first connected with Redick prior to him getting the Lakers job, and that he “always respected him from afar.”
“A well-thought-out guy, a great willingness to look inwardly (for) areas of improvement, understanding how you bring people together,” McVay said. “Really enjoyed him coming out.”

…
Los Angeles Rams: LB Shaun Dolac
The Los Angeles Rams failed to draft a linebacker until choosing Ole Miss’ Pooh Paul Jr. in this year’s fifth round.
Considering the state of the position, the undrafted Shaun Dolac may have as much of a chance to make their roster and possibly contribute as Paul does.
“Tackling machine” can be an overused phrase when it comes to describing linebackers. When discussing Dolac, it’s appropriate.
The Buffalo product finished first or second in total tackles during the 2022 and 2024 campaigns. Between the two seasons, he amassed 315 tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 12 defended passes and five interceptions. He then suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in 2023.
Clearly, instincts and production are not a problem. The reigning MAC Defensive Player of the Year and consensus All-American is undersized at 6’0″ and 221 pounds. However, he has the athletic traits to remain productive as part of the Rams roster.
