2020 NFL Draft: Rams Draft Brycen Hopkins

Rams fans, you are getting a tight end that will be absolutely perfect in your system. Sean McVay loves to use multiple tight ends and love to get creative with them. Hopkins is just right for that.

You are also getting a player who was lightly recruited out of high school. He worked his ass off to get to this point. This past season, he may have been our biggest mismatch for defenses, as he totaled up over 800 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns.

He has room to improve with blocking, but with the NFL Strength program you have, and the new strength coach for the Rams being Purdue’s old one, there is some familiarity built in to the strength program.
