Rams' Unsung Heroes: McClendon, Parkinson, Stewart

0:00On April 5th, the Los Angeles Rams are rolling into the 2026 NFL season with a loaded roster. MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford leads an offense featuring receptions, King Puka Nakua and touchdown leader Devonte Adams. They've added cornerbacks, Trent McDuffy and Jalen Watson to boost the defense, setting up a squad ready to dominate. But the real game changers might be three under the radar players, keeping things humming. Right tackle, Warren McClendon Jr. stepped up huge last year, filling in seamlessly for Rob Havinstein and protecting Stafford like a boss during his MVP run. Titan Colby Parkinson exploded too, post in career bests with 43 catches, 408 yards, and 8 touchdowns while subbing for Tyler Higby. He thrived in single and multiple Titan sets, proving he's a reliable red zone thread. Linebacker Josiah Stewart brings speed and versatility across the line, lining up anywhere with a mature work ethic that teammates rave about.

1:02His non-stop hustle fits perfect in the Rams scheme, turning him into a potential star. These three could quietly push the Rams over the top, especially if McClendon locks in that extension soon. Keep an eye on how they elevate this. Powerhouse squad.
