How the Rams’ Rookies Leave an Impact on This Veteran-Laden Team

ATLANTA — At Super Bowl LIII’s Opening Night, many of the Rams rookies leaned against a wall and talked amongst themselves while clusters of reporters surrounded their veteran teammates, elbowing to get a better position.

Forgive the media for not forming long lines to talk to the youngest Rams. Los Angeles’s rookies played the fewest snaps of any team’s rookie class with 613 regular-season snaps. The team with the second-fewest rookie snaps? New England, wiith 893 regular season snaps. The NFL average was 2,580 rookie snaps over the course of the season, with the Colts leading the league with more the 5,000 snaps.
