The competition for the third receiver slot for the Los Angeles Rams is heating up after Van Jefferson had surgery to repair his injured knee. Jefferson is expected to be out for a few weeks, which puts his status for the season opener on September 8th in question.
Fortunately the Rams have a 6-3, 224 lbs. backup that can be active as a run blocker, has the speed to stretch the field vertically, and is able to leverage his size to make contested catches.
No - that backup is not the incredibly athletic and much-discussed Jacob Harris, who was a fourth round draft selection for the Rams a year ago.
