Mizzou standout Ealy visits Rams

Even if the Rams don't take defensive end Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina at No. 2 overall, that doesn't necessarily mean they're finished looking at potential help for their front four. That's because University of Missouri defensive end Kony Ealy is paying a pre-draft visit to Rams Park today.
Ealy generally is considered the second-best defensive end prospect in the draft behind Clowney and is regarded as a sure first-round pick in the draft next month.
Because Ealy grew up in St. Louis (before moving to New Madrid County in southeast Missouri), he counts as a local visit as opposed to a top 30 visit.
As a local visit, that means he's allowed to work out for the Rams. Assistant head coach Dave McGinnis was among the Rams' contingent in Columbia on March 20 when Ealy was clocked in the 4.6-second range at Mizzou's pro day.
