Josh Forrest picked by Rams in 2016 NFL Draft

Joh Forrest is now an NFL player.

He became one after the Los Angeles Rams took the Kentucky Wildcats linebacker with the 190th pick in Round 6 of the 2016 NFL Draft. It's a well-deserved honor for one of the better backers in the SEC this past year.

The 6-3, 249-pound Forrest ranked 10th in the league with 93 total tackles including six tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions and five pass breakups this past season. He's projected to go anywhere between Round 3 to the end of Day 3 of this year's draft.
