Rams' Pass Catchers: Breakout Potential in 2023

0:00On March 28th, the Los Angeles Rams' pass catchers looked mostly the same heading into next month's NFL draft. They lost Tutu Atwell to the Miami Dolphins in free agency, but every other key guy from last year is back. It's no shock they moved on from him, and now they got it either grab a new receiver through the draft, or trade, or count on their young talent too. Level up big time in 2026. Shaw McVeigh is hyping tight in Terrence Ferguson, as a guy who can line up anywhere in the offense. The rookie started slow with low snaps until late in the season, then blew up playing 45 snaps in week 14 against the Cardinals, 56 versus the Lions, and 70 at the Seahawks. He ended with 12 catches for 250 yards and three touchdowns, plus solid blocking grades around 73 to 77. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jordan Whittington saw more snaps in year 2493 total, but his numbers dipped with fewer targets. Catchers and yards. He shines in the slot like Puken the Koo is back up, but the Rams crave an outside threat.

1:04Then there is Kanata Mumfield, who plays outside as Devonte Adams' heir, stepping a blade when Adam set out, though his catch rate hovered under, 50%. Fans and analysts see breakout potential here, especially with Matthew Stafford slinging it. Ferguson's got room to grow on those mis catches. Whittington's slot role limits him without injuries ahead, and Mumfield needs to win more. Contested balls. Honorable mention to Xavier Smith, who's back despite that special team's gaff in the NFC championship. Rams Nation is watching close. If one of these kids explodes, no need to force a draft move, but the clock's ticking before the pickstrap. That wraps NFL news today. Brought to you with AI.
