A week into the free agency period, the Los Angeles Rams have addressed needs on defense. And for the most part, they’ve replenished pretty well.
It seemed, then, that the Rams would use the NFL draft to address their needs on offense. But not so fast.
NFL Network’s Rand Getlin reported Monday night that Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple has several meetings scheduled, including with the Rams.
Apple would give the Rams depth in the secondary but likely wouldn’t compete for a starting job. He possesses good speed, posting a 4.40 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. As NFL.com reported, Apple did not run the 40 at his pro day, opting instead to only do positional drills.
What he lacks in size he more than makes up for with speed and experience. He started two seasons with the Buckeyes, including their 2014 run to a national championship.
