What turned out to be a moderately decent pick for the fifth round, the Los Angeles Rams are now losing linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo to a free agent deal with the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Okoronkwo, 160th overall pick in the 2018 draft, missed all of his rookie season. Since returning in 2019, Okoronkwo has played in 33 of a possible 49 games, recording 4.5 sacks and 13 QB hits.
The Rams were able to get parts of three seasons out of Okoronkwo, but unfortunately injuries were part of what held him back from ever realizing the potential he had coming out of Oklahoma in 2018.
