To say the least, Joe Noteboom hasn’t become the player that some thought when the Los Angeles Rams drafted him on the third round or signed him to a contract after 2021. Seen as the heir apparent to Andrew Whitworth, Noteboom has become an extension of the offensive line as the sixth-man rather than a starter at left tackle.
However, through the first two weeks of the season, Noteboom will have an opportunity that he hasn’t gotten since the 2022 season. For the first two weeks Alaric Jackson will be sidelined due to a suspension and in those games it will be Noteboom who subs in at that spot.
