Could 2022 be the year Tutu Atwell breaks out and shows why the Los Angeles Rams drafted him in the second round? After a disappointing rookie season, Atwell has stood out to Sean McVay during OTAs and the Rams’ offseason workout program as a whole.
He’s coming back from a season-ending shoulder injury, but McVay says Atwell has looked good and “by no means is the book written” on him.
In practice on Wednesday, the Rams shared a clip of several receivers making catches in the corner of the end zone. Some were more difficult grabs than others, like Atwell’s toe-tapping snag for what would’ve been a touchdown.
Yes, it’s only OTAs and he caught the pass against air, not a cornerback. But it’s encouraging to see him go up aggressively and to show the awareness to come down inbounds.
Hopefully he’s able to stay healthy and provide the Rams a spark as a speedy deep threat on the outside.
Now if we could have the other teams agree to not cover Tutu so he can run uncontested routes like this during the games!
I have to admit that Tutu looks really good when the Defense isn't on the field!
With no D on the field, I like his chances. The only things that could injure him would be the ground or the ball! Oh wait...
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
