McVay and Snead got texts from coaches, GMs about Jordan Fuller pickCameron DaSilva
Despite taking a safety in the third round, the Los Angeles Rams circled back to the position on Day 3 by selecting Jordan Fuller out of Ohio State. He joins fellow rookie Terrell Burgess as the newest safeties in the secondary, backing up starters Taylor Rapp and John Johnson.
It may have seemed illogical for the Rams to take two safeties with Rapp and Johnson already as the starters, but they couldn’t pass up the chance to add a leader like Fuller. He’s a two-time captain and an Academic All-American, which piqued the interest of Les Snead and Sean McVay.
“We had done a safety earlier. These two are different skill sets,” Snead said on SiriusXM NFL Radio this week. “Terrell could go down and do an element of nickel. Jordan’s probably more of your old school free on the backend. Did a nice job tackling and we felt like it definitely matched up with a lot of Taylor Rapp’s and John Johnson’s skill set. So couldn’t pass on Jordan based on a lot of things.”
