Watch any Rams game from the last four years, and it becomes obvious how much pride wide receivers Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp take in being as physical without the ball in their hands as they are with it. It is not out the ordinary, for example, to see one running downfield to block for the other, or give maximum effort blocking for a standard running play.
New Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek took the same approach at Notre Dame, making his physicality a perfect fit in Los Angeles.
"Tough, physical and reliable," Skowronek said during a video conference with reporters after being selected 249th overall by L.A. in the 2021 NFL Draft. "I love to get in there blocking. That's my favorite thing to do on the football field is hitting people. Maybe I play the wrong position at receiver, but that's what I love to do. I think I have some of the best hands coming out in this year's draft. Strong hands, I catch everything and I'm also a high IQ player. I love the game of football. I study the game of football. I've been around the game of football growing up. So, I feel like I'm savvy in that way and just a high IQ type guy."
