Jack Youngblood and Fred Dryer, those were some bookends.

Rams went from Deacon Jones to Jack Youngblood at Left Defensive End. Not Bad.

Rams went from Deacon Jones to Jack Youngblood at Left Defensive End. Not Bad.

And when you think about it, Kevin Greene was the left edge after that as a LOLB in a 3-4 --- though not right away and not exactly the same ... but from 1960s to early 1990s the left side could get after QBs ...

then a gap from 1993-194 but in 1995 Kevin Carter then Leonrd Little to Chris Long.

Kind of like Yankee centerfielders or Red Sox left fielders or Lakers center, etc.

My favorite Ram of all time!

Him and Kurt Warner for me. Jack is my all-time favorite defensive player anywhere (Donald is close) and Warner is my favorite offensive guy of all time.
