What You Need To Know
1) On the heels of an NFC West-championship season in which they took the eventual Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles to the limit in the Divisional Round, the Rams are heading into 2025 with high hopes. The addition of Davante Adams has only stoked expectations for a Matthew Stafford-led offense. A closer look offers a reminder that the Rams offense was just 26th in total yards and middle of the road in points scored (17th). Just how quickly Adams assimilates into Sean McVay's offense and develops chemistry with Stafford and Rams WR1 Puka Nacua will be a key to camp and L.A. returning its offense to a high-octane force on a consistent basis.
2) Les Snead and the Rams have stacked up some stellar drafts. They have piled up standout starters such as running back Kyren Williams (2022; fifth round), defensive lineman Kobie Turner (2023; second), wide receiver Puka Nacua (2023, fifth), defensive lineman Jared Verse (2024; first), DL Braden Fiske (2024; second) and far too many more to list here. In 2025, there's a lack of ballyhoo accompanying the latest class, but with the Rams' recent track record, it's enticing to see how these rookies come along. Considering L.A.'s recent success drafting at certain positions, it's arduous not to be fascinated by the potential of third-round defensive end Josaiah Stewart, fourth-round RB Jarquez Hunter and seventh-round WR Konata Mumpfield. However, the most intriguing could well be the highest-picked: tight end Terrance Ferguson. The second-round Oregon product might be looked on to make an instant impact with Tyler Higbee yet to show he's fully back from a devastating knee injury and veteran Colby Parkinson regarded more for his blocking.
3) Every bit a bell cow back, Kyren Williams had his second straight 1,000-yard campaign last season, with his 1,299 yards equating to an NFL-leading 73.6% of his team's rushing output. Those yards came on a career-high 316 carries -- more than his rookie and second seasons combined (263). As Williams and the Rams work to a contract extension, there's also reason to wonder if Williams will see his role curbed a bit, as L.A. has picked backs in back-to-back drafts (Blake Corum, 2024; Jarquez Hunter, 2025). How Williams' contract situation plays out, along with how the reps are divvied up in the L.A. backfield, will be interesting plotlines to follow in Southern California this summer.
