The Rams have had one of the best special teams units in the league for some time now, and one of the reasons why is the competition the team fosters in training camp.
Monday’s practice, which focused solely on the unit, is an example of where players who may be on the fringes of the roster can begin to make enough of an impression to secure a coveted spot. It’s an opportunity for players to show that they have both unique physical and mental traits that can allow them to be successful in their special teams roles.
“They’re a little different, yeah,” special teams coordinator John Fassel said of players who excel on his unit.
