2018 Los Angeles Rams Roster Preview: Is S Steven Parker the surprise UDFA for 2018?

Los Angeles Rams S Steven Parker was a three-year starter that played in every game and tied for fourth on the Oklahoma Sooners with 63 tackles and ranked third with six pass breakups. Back in 2014, Parker was the 53rd overall recruit in the country signing with OU.
