With the 136th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the LA Rams selected Brycen Hopkins, a tight end, out of Purdue. Brycen Hopkins is a 6-foot-4 245-pound receiving tight end who specializes in jump balls and yards after the catch. He is a talented player who only strengthens a strong tight end room.
He joins three veteran NFL tight ends in Tyler Higbee, Gerald Everett, and Johnny Mundt. While he may have difficulty carving out a niche for himself on the Rams 2020 55-man roster, he will no doubt be in the Rams’ plans for 2021, when both Mundt and Everett will have expired contracts.
