Rams Sign 3 UDFAs for Cornerback Rebuild

0:00On April 29th, the Los Angeles Rams just wrapped their 2026 NFL Draft by signing 18 undrafted free agents, bringing their roster to 87 players, three shy of the full 90-man limit. They're gearing up for organized team activities, starting May 26th. Cornerback was a big need this off season, so they traded for Trent McDuffey, grab Jalen Watson and free agency, but skip drafting Indian, instead scooped up three undrafted corners. These guys are Dre Norwood from Missouri, Al Zillian Hamilton from Fresno State, and Nizier Forkurean from Wisconsin. Norwood started 32 games in the SEC, with 92 tackles and three picks. Hamilton racked up eight interceptions over 55 games, showing slot versatility. Forkurean, with solid length and explosiveness, totaled 90 tackles at Wisconsin after dominating at Division 2. Fans hope for a draft pick to lock down the corner rebuild, but these UDFAs bring real competition.

1:01Norwood steady in coverage, but lacks punch in the run game. Hamilton's a ball-hawk with feisty man skills, though he needs strength. Forkurean stands out as physical, and tough-fitting Rams' backup mold, with tackling chops. Ross despots look open beyond locks like McDuffey, Watson, and Emanuel Forbes, maybe one or two more. These rookies battle holdovers from last-use practice squad, like Cam Lampkin and Alex Johnson. Film breakdowns favor Forkurean for his hustle and special team's potential, Hamilton for coverage instincts. As OTA's kickoff, watch these corners scrap for depth roles. Their traits could shine in camp, and earn them a shot on a squad that's building smart, from the bottom up.
