The Los Angeles Rams made another surprise move on Thursday when they released Terrell Lewis. Lewis, drafted out of Alabama in 2020, dealt with injuries and never lived up to his full potential. While he showed flashes, in three years, he had six sacks and one forced fumbles.
With limited draft capital and resources, it’s extremely important for the Rams to be able to hit on the draft picks that they do have. Over the last month, they have now released Darrell Henderson and Lewis who were both third round picks.
Looking at the Rams 2020 draft haul, they selected:
- RB Cam Akers - 52nd Overall Pick
- WR Van Jefferson - 57th Overall Pick
- OLB Terrell Lewis - 84th Overall Pick
- S Terrell Burgess - 104th Overall Pick
- TE Brycen Hopkins - 136th Overall Pick
- S Jordan Fuller - 199th Overall Pick
- LB Clay Johnston - 234th Overall Pick
- K Sam Sloman - 248th Overall Pick
- G Tremayne Anchrum - 250th Overall Pick
Out of these selections, four are no longer on the roster and none of them have necessarily been difference-makers.
