LA Rams offensive lineman David Edwards is ready to start

Raw talent to a solid performer

When Edwards was drafted, the projection centered around a new raw talent for offensive line coach Aaron Kromer to coach up.  But from the moment he was promoted to starting right guard for the Rams, things began to click for him.  Surprisingly, the offensive tackle flourished as the Rams starting offensive guard for 10 games.  He was promoted to left guard when Joseph Noteboom fell to injury and played well enough for the Rams veterans to notice.

"“He played really, really big time for us,” – WR Robert Woods said via TheRams.com Stu Jackson"

His role soon changed over to the right guard when the team landed guard Austin Corbett from the Cleveland Browns after center/guard Austin Blythe fell to injury.  From that point, Edwards switched to right guard, where he remained through the end of the 2019 season.

Edwards was given the grand tour of offensive line roles in training camp when he arrived. His versatility and blank slate was the perfect blank slate needed for Coach Kromer to work his magic, and he definitely did just that. Getting quality starts out of any rookie is huge, but finding quality starts from a fifth-round rookie is hitting the lottery for an NFL team. All from a training camp where Edwards was exposed to almost all offensive line positions to “be ready for anything”.
