The LA Rams‘ interest in Louisville wide receiver Tutu Atwell has mystified some, angered others, and even been applauded by still others. The theory of why the team drafted the speedy field-stretching wide receiver out of Louisville is fundamentally sound. The Rams had just acquired a veteran quarterback named Matthew Stafford who not only can throw the deep ball but who will do so.
The team simply wanted a rookie player who would be the understudy to one of the NFL’s best at stretching the football field, wide receiver DeSean Jackson.
