Drafted No. 8 overall in the 2013 draft, Austin has steadily improved to become one of the main features of the Rams’ offense. The club particularly found success with playing Austin and running back Todd Gurley off of one another, using Gurley up the middle and Austin to the outside. Austin’s skill set allowed him to make 52 receptions for 473 yards and take 52 carries for 434 yards last year.
