Abbiamo chiesto la vostra opinione sul draft dei Rams: questa è quella di Giacomo Giannecchini. Partiamo dal presupposto che non ho seguito molto il college football della stagione 2016. Aggiungiamo anche che non mi sono preso nemmeno la briga di approfondire i filmati dei prospetti del Draft 2017. Nemmeno ho…
Passata l’orda dei fanatici del voto al draft di chiunque (un’assurda pratica che andrebbe vietata, o almeno i votanti dovrebbero essere obbligati, da qui a cinque anni, a commentare pubblicamente i loro voti una volta che i giocatori si sono stabilizzati nella lega, allora sì che rideremmo alla grande), cerchiamo…
Come d'abitudine, subito dopo il draft ogni squadra procede alla firma di un certo numero di prospetti non draftati per rimpinzare il roster in vista del training camp, ma anche per cercare quelle rare gemme nascoste che a volte possono passare inosservate in fase di scelta. In passato i Rams…
Ancora problemi per il cornerback dei Rams Troy Hill. Dopo che lo scorso novembre venne arrestato per guida in stato di ubriachezza, fatto per il quale venne rilasciato dai Rams per poi essere rifirmato nella practice squad, ora il front office di Los Angeles comunica che la NFL lo…

OVERVIEW Even though Smart grew up in Baton Rouge and was a first-team all-state pick, he did not get a chance to play SEC football, so he went to nearby Tulane to show his wares. Playing in every game as a freshman, he was credited with 14 tackles. Then he…
OVERVIEW Nnamaka Samson Ebukam was born in Nigeria, but learned football early on in Portland, Oregon and excelled as a high school defensive end and tight end. Ebukam contributed as a true freshman, playing 15 games as a reserve (28 tackles, four for loss, three sacks). He was a second-team…
OVERVIEW Reynolds couldn't get a scholarship offer for football from a FBS school despite his manifold talents; in fact, Oregon State pulled their interest after other receivers ate up roster spots late in the process. So off to Tyler Junior College he went, receiving second-team all-conference recognition. Reynolds didn't waste…
OVERVIEW Johnson's career with the Eagles ended on a high note, beating his home-state team, Maryland, in the Quick Lane Bowl. He had 12 tackles (11 solo) in the contest, capping off an excellent senior season (77 tackles, 2.5 for loss, three interceptions, nine pass breakups). In 2015, Johnson got…
