Tutu might surprise and take a big step in his sophomore season after his debacle as the Rams first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft (Round 2, pick #57) from Louisville.

I'm guilty predicting he would to be the Rams rookie of year. I have no excuses for overrating him last season.

As of today, I'm still wiping egg off of my face and (no) I'm not predicting Tutu to be anything special in 2022.

Like 90% or more of you, I preferred Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma selected in Round 2: No. 63 overall.

Tons of Rams fan said he was nothing more than Tavon Austin 2.0 with better hands.

I can't argue those predictions.
