LA Rams draft Decobie Durant Jr: LA Fans react on Twitter
By John Vogel
With the 142nd selection of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected cornerback Decobie Durant Jr from South Carolina State. Here’s what Rams fans had to say about the pick.
The second pick for the Los Angeles Rams of the 2022 NFL Draft fits in at the end of the fourth round. They elected to take Decobie Durant Jr out of South Carolina State, who played at the Shrine Bowl this offseason and has shown some solid skills over the pre-draft process.
Durant is an intriguing pick in terms of his size. He’s smaller than everyone else in that secondary, but he made big plays when he played against bigger schools. He’s versatile – which fits what the Rams want.
The immediate impact that Durant will have in Los Angeles should be very minimal. I think he’s going to flash in the preseason but he should remain on the practice squad until there is an injury in the secondary, especially considering the fact that Troy Hill is back in Los Angeles.
