3 sleepers from Rams rookie class who could steal a roster spot

II: Michigan DB Josh Wallace

The LA Rams are always in need of secondary help, or at least so it seems since trading away All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. But with the team investing so heavily into the secondary via free agency, is there room on the roster from an undrafted rookie? Well, the team said goodbye to nearly all starters from 2023, and reloaded with free agents to take their place.

So by all accounts, the team turned over the top end of the secondary roster. But what about the developmental depth players? Well, they will have to face a new wave of competition, led by Michigan cornerback Josh Wallace:

Standing 5-foot-11 and weighing 185 pounds, Wallace is somewhat undersized for an NFL defensive back, but he is bigger than second-year DB Tre Tomlinson, a player who struggled in 2023. While Wallace is not a ball-hawking defensive back, he can make enough plays to break up passes and make tackles.

The Rams need competition in the secondary, and that is exactly what Josh Wallace delivers. He is coming off an NCAA Championship team in which he faced some of the best receiver in college football. Throughout the 2023 NCAA football season, he held his own at Michigan. Expect him to do the same in the NFL.
