Nate Scheelhaase: Rams' New Offensive Coordinator

0:00It's April 2, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. When Mike LaFlure jumped ahead coach for the Arizona Cardinals, the Los Angeles Rams wasted no time promoting Nate Shield Hayes to offensive. Coordinator back in February, Shield Hayes came on board with the Rams ahead of the 2024 season as past game coordinator, working side by side with LaFlure for two, full seasons so the offense should feel seamless. At the NFL annual meeting in Phoenix, LaFlure couldn't say enough good things about his former colleague, calling him a standout coach, and even better. Person and someone with a super bright future ahead, Rams star-wide receiver Puka Nakua echoed that vibe, highlighting Shield Hayes' chill way of communicating under pressure, which keeps everyone locked. In and executing on game day. As Nakua heads into the last year of his four-year rookie contract in 2026, the Rams are all in on keeping him long-term while this new staff jails and pushes forward.
