One of the biggest storylines of the 2024 offseason for the Los Angeles Rams was that Steve Avila was moving from left guard to center. The Rams signed Jonah Jackson in free agency to play left guard, giving Avila that freedom to move back to his more natural position that he played at TCU.
Of course, there was going to be an adjustment period and a learning curve. That comes with every position in the NFL. However, that’s even more so the case at center in the Rams offense. While the quarterback is still in charge of some of the protection calls, much of that falls on the center due to the quarterback also needing to dictate motion pre-snap.
