It was only three years ago that the L.A. Rams held a disastrous kicking competition between three unproven players and saw that none of them would be with the team a month into the 2020 season. The Rams had to sign two more free agents before they landed on Matt Gay, who then became one of the most reliable players on the team and reached the Pro Bowl.
But L.A. let Gay leave in free agency this year and either Sean McVay isn’t afraid of history repeating itself at the kicker position or the Rams didn’t learn anything from the Sam Sloman tryouts.
