Watch highlights of Rams 3rd-round pick David LongThe Rams drafted David Long out of Michigan in the third round (No. 79), and for good reason. Talib and Peters will be free agents in 2020 and Hill has been inconsistent as the No. 4 cornerback. Long will contribute in dime packages and in the event of injury, likely before taking over as a starter in 2020.
He wasn’t tested very often in coverage by opposing quarterbacks, so his highlights aren’t filled with pass breakups and interceptions, but it’s easy to see why teams hardly ever threw his way. He’s sticky in man coverage, often taking away the quarterback’s top target.
