Steve Avila: Rams OL's Grind for Extension & Team Growth

0:00On April 22nd, Ram's offensive lineman Steve Avala heads into his fourth NFL season, eligible for a contract extension. He's straight up hoping for that bag, but right now, his main grind is leveling up his skills and building tighter bonds with the team. This offseason, Avala bounced back to Texas, snagged a new house, and linked up with his family for training. He even had practices at his old school, TCU, where he got hooked on coaching bives, breaking down film, and dropping knowledge on the young guys. Avala is all about that team first energy, praising how the Ram's developed lineman from late picks and undrafted gyms better than most squads. With Rob Havenstein hanging up his cleats, leaving a huge gap in talent and leadership, he's wide open to fresh faces via the draft. Now, the line-rooms keeping Havenstein's fun traditions alive, like dishing out pluses and minuses for random stuff. Better and David Quessenberry's taken over as the elder statesman, calling those shots.

1:00All in all, with guys like 4th year warm, McClendon, Jr. stepping up to start, the Ram's offensive lines locked in for a big push this year.
