When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams roster, there is a lot of opportunity for young players to find their spot. In a normal year, some of these younger players may not have had a chance to make the final roster. This year? The Rams will have 40 rookies which makes up almost half of of the training camp roster.
To show just how many spots are available on the Rams roster, let’s take a look at the locks, near-locks, bubble players, and longshots this summer.
Locks (26)
- Quarterback: Matthew Stafford, Stetson Bennett
- Running Back: Cam Akers
- Wide Receiver: Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek, TuTu Atwell, Puka Nacua
- Tight End: Tyler Higbee
- Offensive Line: Joe Noteboom, Steve Avila, Alaric Jackson, Brian Allen, Coleman Shelton, Rob Havenstein
- Defensive Line: Aaron Donald, Bobby Brown, Marquise Copeland, Kobie Turner
- Linebacker: Ernest Jones

When the Rams release their initial 53-man roster, it would be a relative shock not to see on of these 26 players missing.
