After adding nine players in the 2021 NFL draft, the Los Angeles Rams moved quickly to land another nine undrafted free agents. They agreed to terms with some intriguing players, including two offensive linemen and two potential return specialists.

Going player by player, here’s a little bit of background on each prospect, helping you get to know the undrafted rookies who will be competing for a spot on the 53-man roster in L.A. this year.

Iowa State WR Landen Akers

In an interview with Draft Diamond’s Damond Talbot, Akers was asked who he would compare himself to in the NFL. He said “Adam Thielen or Cooper Kupp.”

That second guy is a solid comparison for Akers, who may not be a burner but is a solid route runner. In college, he caught 38 passes for 593 yards and one touchdown, while also returning 14 kickoffs for 293 yards.

Iowa OT Alaric Jackson

Jackson is a highly experienced offensive lineman, starting all 42 games he played at Iowa. He earned All-Big Ten honors in each of his four seasons, which is a remarkable feat. However, he did miss two games due to two separate suspensions for violating team rules.

Jackson received a $20,000 signing bonus from the Rams, showing he was a high priority for them.
