This fierce edge rusher is growing more popular among Rams fans

The LA Rams are expected to address the defense more thoroughly than the offense in the 2024 NFL Draft. After all, the team has spent nearly three times as much on offense as on defense. That complicates questions that are lingering about the defense for 2024. Questions like who will start, will the team add depth, and who will step up next season.
