The LA Rams coaches and players are finally getting to train at the sport of professional football. While the best and more accurate practices occur once the pads go on, Organized Team Activities (OTAs) are critical in that this is the first time for this assembly of players has a chance to work out for and in front of this assembly of coaches.

This is the first Rams draft class for GM Les Snead and HC Sean McVay that has the benefit of a Round 1 rookie prospect.
