When you consider the Los Angeles Rams tight end usage in the Sean McVay era, workman-like may be best descriptor and play-making would likely be well down the list. Although McVay came to L.A. with a reputation for making tight ends a centerpiece, it hasn’t worked out that way.
It may very well have been his original intent. McVay inherited Tyler Higbee and his first draft choice in L.A. was tight end Gerald Everett (#44 in 2017), but it never worked out. The Higbee/Everett combo lasted four years and neither player really thrived. Although Brycen Hopkins came around in Round 4 of 2020, he was never able to carve out much play time.
