we really have no idea about this guy. We dont even know what the staff thinks of him. Claiming Rams are "all in" on him is pure speculation based on the fact Rams drafted him. When I saw him, I felt he looked awfully small compared to other linemen. He might have great technique, and intangibles, but he looks small.
Noteboom is also still a ? as far as being our future LT. We have not seen nearly enough to make any kind of declarations about our future OL. Whitworth has been an absolute stud of a LT in his career, but it did not come easy. He has "off the charts" work ethic and intelligence. He has a rare combination of those attributes and athleticism. Don't expect Noteboom to step in and perform like Whitworth. At least he has the opportunity to learn from one of the best. His future is promising, but our future OL is very uncertain, and I would not dismiss Rams drafting a lineman with their first pick.
Go Rams.
