After amazing rookie seasons, this Rams trio prepares for a sophomore surge

The LA Rams struck gold in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Rams cannot repeat the success of their 2023 NFL Draft rookie class. The Rams 2023 rookie class may the best group in recent memory.

Two of the best pass rushers on the defensive front were two rookies: OLB Byron Young and NT Kobie Turner. The best receiver of the team was rookie WR Puka Nacua. While they are both young and less experienced, their unfamiliarity with the NFL did not stop them from excelling in their first season.

I think so. After all, they have already faced their NFC Western Divisional foes twice in 2023, and played 17 total games in the NFL as well.

What can you expect from the top rookies on the Rams roster in 2024? Some very good things, to be sure. LIke this, for example:
