The Los Angeles Rams will be looking to fill several voids on the defense that were left by Aaron Donald after he retired in the offseason. While they will certainly miss the sacks and opportunities he opened up for other players, one of the main things that they will miss is his veteran leadership.
Throughout OTAs and training camp, the Rams will be looking for the new leader of the defense, especially as they also transition to a new defensive coordinator. Heading into his fourth year and coming off of a breakout season, it’s very like that player will be linebacker Ernest Jones.
