THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams added a new, young quarterback on Monday, claiming Brandon Allen off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Allen, a sixth-round pick out of Arkansas last year, comes in as the No. 3 quarterback behind Jared Goff and Sean Mannion. Rams coach Sean McVay said he has "a great deal of confidence" in Goff and Mannion, and that the Rams will simply "be able to develop [Allen] and see how he does."
Allen was one of five players released by the Jaguars on Sunday, in order to create room on the 53-man roster for the five players they claimed through the waiver wire.
