Healthy veterans and a burgeoning crop of young players make Los Angeles a team that rolls into 2024 with massive upside.
The Los Angeles Rams have a new, unique training camp set on the idyllic campus of Loyola Marymount, with one practice field as center stage, and another in the outfield of a baseball diamond. The setup allows for efficiency, with everything centrally located, and brand-new dorms to stay in. Oh, and the team here should be pretty good, too …
• That, of course, brings you to the guy who’s not here, Aaron Donald, one of the greatest players of all-time. The harsh reality is that the Rams aren’t going to replace Donald with one guy. So the resources sunk into the defensive front are going to have to pay dividends. The good news is that Kobie Turner’s potential as an interior rusher was clear last year, Byron Young has had a really strong offseason coming back, and top-50 picks Jared Verse and Braden Fiske have hit the ground running.
• Another area where the Rams made a massive investment was the offensive line, with big-money guards Kevin Dotson and Jonah Jackson now on hand. But those additions did mean moving second-year man Steve Avila, the 36th pick in the 2023 draft, inside to center. And so far, so good on the move. Avila was one of the team’s strongest workers through the offseason program and, though the pads haven’t come on yet, has hit the ground running in camp.
