As for Sam, he will have little chance to make the Rams squad. He would have likely had a better chance to catch on with a 3-4 team who needed depth.
Which is why I said the Rams didn’t do him any favors by drafting him as they play a 4-3 as well as having the best DL in the NFL
Sam is a ‘tweener - too slow to play OLB and too small to play DE
He’ll likely fill out and will play DE anyways, but extra weight will make him slower than he already is.
Local kid who played his college ball at Mizzou and SEC co-defensive player of the year made for a good pick for STL for a late 7th, but he has little chance of making the team other than as a ST player or PS player.
He would be better off getting cut early and trying to catch on elsewhere.
