One twitchy dangerous defender

The Rams stockpiled a cache of defensive line talent after the 2020 NFL Draft. But should a talented defensive lineman prospect fall to them in the 2021 NFL Draft, don’t expect the Rams to look the other way.

One player who could certainly make the grade is the strongman out of the West Virginia Mountaineers, defensive lineman Darius Stills.  Stills is a 6-foot-1, 278-pound prospect who is certainly one of the players-on-the-rise.


Stills is a small but twitchy and powerful defensive lineman who is slightly similar to LA Rams All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald. Because of his size and power, he is a Tasmanian Devil when it comes to pass rush penetration. He is a flurry of moves and strength, ripping away at any pass pocket to get to the quarterback.

While he can overcommit to a gap leaving a rushing lane for a quick-footed running back, he can be just as dangerous if he shoots through the right gap and greets a rusher in the offensive backfield.
