Rams Eyeing Bernard in NFL Draft

0:00On April 22nd, the Los Angeles Rams are eyeing a wide receiver in the 2026 NFL draft, but not with their 13th overall pick. Instead, ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler reports they might grab Alabama's Jeremy Bernard on day 2, possibly at the 61st or 93rd spot. After some solid pre-draft meetings, Bernard is a 22-year-old, 6'1, 206-pound 2-year starter, who lit it up last season with 64 catches for 8, 162 yards, and 7 touchdowns over 14 games. Fans and analysts see him as a perfect outside receiver and third option for Matthew Stafford, especially if the Rams pass on top first round talents. His blocking skills and experience in the slot make him a seamless fit for Sean McVey scheme. What stands out is Bernard's versatility. He ran wildcat plays, jet sweeps, motions, screens, and even forced 17 missed tackles while returning. Kickoffs. The Rams craved that multi-tool receiver vibe.
