The LA Rams signed a remarkably talented running back from Southern Methodist University after the 2020 NFL Draft by the name of Xavier Jones. If you do not recognize that name, you must be new to our coverage of the Rams. You see, we loved him from the moment that the Rams added him to the team. And we lobbied hard for some role on the offense.
That kinda never happened.
It was close to happening. the Rams were tight at the running back position when rookie RB Cam Akers suffered a high ankle sprain, and RB Darrell Henderson suffered a very similar injury the following week.
