Rams bringing a young but promising 53-man roster into Week 1

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – There is a youth movement in Los Angeles, as the Rams own the third-youngest roster in the NFL after yesterday's 53-man roster deadline with an average player age of 25.1 years.

However, context is important. For Rams head coach Sean McVay, the fairest way to examine their current collection of players heading into Week 1 is to individually examine whether there's youth or experience at each position group.

"I think we've got some guys that are young players, but they're mature football players even though they might be younger," McVay said during a video conference with reporters Saturday. "We want to have smart, good football players that do the right thing. We do have a good mix."
