Rams Select Jordan Whittington (WR, Texas) at #213 overall.

Wait, does he return punts? I don't think so

He did at Texas for a bit, and I guarantee that if he wants to get on the field and help - which he will - he'll learn. He's as selfless a receiver I've seen. He could've transferred to any school and gotten more opportunities, but he stuck it out and did everything for Texas.

 

[TheTackle]

He’s a special teams player and a good one. Much loved by fans, players and coaches. Another great pick all the way here

 

[Kupped]

Biggest concern, in all I've read, is a troubling injury history. Let's hope it's behind him.. because I can see him in 11 personnel.. for sure.

 

[TheTackle]

No not a punt returner but will be a core special teamer I’m sure

One major injury at Texas. Nacua was injury-prone in college as well. I have no concerns.

Didn't return punts often because of Worthy. He's capable of doing it, and I bet he could get snaps in 11 personnel early on, like Kupped said.

With the new kickoff rules.. I pretty much guarantee he returns kicks.

Happy to have the kid but if he's getting snaps in 11 personnel early we're in trouble

Really good point

Or we've found another steal of a receiver late.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Looks like a future starter, and he can learn from the best in Kupp and our other guys.

Congrats @Memento !! Hopefully this made up for your Switch troubles a little bit

Sadly, I'll have to spend what little I have on a very expensive product...but the Whittington selection did elicit an excited fangirl scream.

 

[CoachAllred]

Stylistically, he's so similar to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Puka Nacua. Not a fast receiver, but he does everything else right.

Rams WR to a T.
Converted RB who has exvellent RAC.
Loves run blocking and is very good at it.

Landon Holifield ✭ tweet

WORLD CLASS Character. Team First Guy. Tough as hell. Persevered through countless adversity.Fearless catching over the middle. Run Blocks w/ the best of em. Willingly does all the dirty work. Doesn’t take plays off. And Played RB & WR in high school so hes got sneaky YAC ability.

Not trying to start a fight here but wondering if Whittington could push Skowronek off the roster.

Or Trammell who can't return kicks to save his life. Skow seems to have at least a minor role on offense so might have a better chance. But then there are what 3 UDFA WR's signed so far?

Absolutely, but I agree with OS: Trammell's spot is likely gone because Whittington can return kicks. And this is coming from a gal who loves her some Benny Skow.

 

[Ramhusker]

What is the same injury he had three years in a row?

More like bye bye Trammel.
