Who is the Rams' most exciting UDFA addition?
Who is the Rams' most exciting UDFA addition?
The Los Angeles Rams signed a bevy of undrafted free agents following the 2025 NFL Draft to round out their roster heading into summer workouts. These are players who, for whatever reason, weren't considered draftable prospects by any of the franchises.
However, that doesn't mean they aren't exciting players. The Rams have had a lot of success in recent years with undrafted players, too, which players like starting left tackle Alaric Jackson and starting inside linebacker Omar Speights.
One of the Rams' newest additions could hit, and Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski predicts linebacker Shaun Dolac is L.A.'s "most exciting" UDFA heading into the summer.
"The Los Angeles Rams failed to draft a linebacker until choosing Ole Miss' Pooh Paul Jr. in this year's fifth round," Sobleski wrote. "Considering the state of the position, the undrafted Shaun Dolac may have as much of a chance to make their roster and possibly contribute as Paul does.
"'Tackling machine can be an overused phrase when it comes to describing linebackers. When discussing Dolac, it's appropriate. The Buffalo product finished first or second in total tackles during the 2022 and 2024 campaigns. Between the two seasons, he amassed 315 tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 12 defended passes and five interceptions. He then suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in 2023.
"Clearly, instincts and production are not a problem. The reigning MAC Defensive Player of the Year and consensus All-American is undersized at 6'0" and 221 pounds. However, he has the athletic traits to remain productive as part of the Rams roster."
Dolac has the experience, production and skillset to earn a role on Chris Shula's defense. He may not be an immediate impact starter, but he should compete with the other backups like Paul, Tony Fields II and Elias Neal. Troy Reeder is pretty injury-prone, too, so there could be ample opportunities to see snaps if Dolac makes a good impression during training camp.

Rams have one game ranked among NFL's 25 most watchable in 2025
When looking over the Los Angeles Rams' schedule in 2025, there are three games that really stand out: at the Eagles, at the Ravens and home against the Lions. Matchups with the 49ers, Buccaneers and Falcons are also intriguing, but those are the big three that fans will be particularly excited for. recently ranked the 25 most watchable games of the upcoming season and only one Rams matchup was listed. It's not the rematch against the Eagles, either. Lions at Rams came in at No. 16 on Bill Speros' list, earning a watchability score of 56.9. The Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl rematch is No. 1, unsurprisingly, followed by Ravens-Chiefs, Eagles-Bills and Ravens-Bills. Bookies measures a game's watchability with an algorithm that factors in betting lines, projected win totals for the season, Super Bowl odds, off-field storylines and whether a game is on national TV. Rams-Lions isn't getting the prime-time spotlight that many expected it to, but it's still certainly one of the best games on the NFL's schedule in 2025.

Davante Adams still looks like 'one of the best receivers in the NFL' to Andrew Whitworth
The Los Angeles Rams raised some eyebrows when they gave Davante Adams a two-year, $44 million contract this offseason – not because he lacks talent, but because he's 32 years old. Receivers on the wrong side of 30 tend to see their production decline pretty significantly but the Rams are confident Adams will continue being one of the top playmakers in football for them. Andrew Whitworth has visited some of the Rams' practices this offseason and what he's seen from Adams has been impressive. Adams has still shown the ability to separate and get off the line with excellent releases, which is why Whitworth has no concerns about his age. He thinks Adams still looks like 'one of the best receivers in the NFL.' 'When you look at Davante and Stafford, I think it's going to be something where you look at his ability – I've been to a couple OTAs – to just separate and get off the line and just watch how good this guy still is at his age,' Whitworth said on the 'Rich Eisen Show' Thursday. 'I'm not worried about what his number of days he's been alive is because this dude looks like one of the best receivers in the NFL still. He's still that kind of talent. Talking to him personally, that means a lot to him. He wants to be one of the best receivers in the league every single year. he doesn't want to be playing if anybody thinks he's a liability or he's not that. He's passionate to prove he's still that guy and I think Stafford, just by his demeanor and happiness, is pretty happy to see him out on the football field.' Though the Rams signed Adams before they cut Cooper Kupp, they had already planned to move on from the former Super Bowl MVP so they effectively replaced him with Adams. Puka Nacua will still probably be the No. 1 option on offense, but Adams is viewed by many as an upgrade over Kupp. Whitworth didn't flat-out say that, which isn't surprising considering he's good friends with Kupp, but he does think the Rams offense will be 'different' with Adams in the picture. Adams is a better one-on-one weapon and wins as an isolated X-receiver on the left side, something the Rams had been lacking previously. 'Obviously, Cooper Kupp was an unbelievable player and those situations anytime in the end are tough for an organization and as a whole, not just the players, everybody in that building that Cooper had a chance to touch,' Whitworth said. 'But this team will be different with Davante because now you're starting to see a team where there's a lot of different ways they can beat you because Davante's just a different player than Coop was in that sense. Not about how good he was, but a different situational guy, a one-on-one nightmare. I think it really puts this team in a (position) where they can run it, they can throw it, they can do stuff with Puka and really focus on him and when they get in those situations on third down and you want a one-on-one isolation guy, Davante Adams can win.' Stafford and Adams have been building chemistry all offseason already and that'll continue in training camp next month. Stafford has a history of helping receivers put up big numbers in their first season together and Adams could be the next beneficiary in 2025.

Rams aren't just trying to win over L.A. They strive to be 'the world's team'
Rams linebackers Bryon Young (0) and Jared Verse (8) stand with teammates during the playing of the national anthem before a win over the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium on Dec. 28. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times) The Rams returned to Southern California nearly a decade ago intent on capturing the heart of NFL fans in Los Angeles. Now, with two Super Bowl appearances, one championship and a still glistening-like SoFi Stadium, they have their eyes set on a larger territory: the world. Advertisement The Rams' trip to Maui last week for a minicamp was their latest foray into building a global brand. 'In the journey to growing your brand globally, there's never an 'Aha, this is a perfect moment,'' Rams president Kevin Demoff said as he stood on the field at War Memorial Stadium after a workout attended by several thousand fans. 'But I think this is a great step.' The Rams' reach is expanding well beyond the United States. Read more: Puka Nacua's rapid ascent an inspiration to Polynesian athletes and Hawaiian fans As part of the NFL's Global Markets Program, the Rams in the last decade were granted rights in Mexico, China, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. Advertisement In February, the NFL announced that the Rams in 2026 would be the home team for the first NFL regular-season game in Australia. The game against a still-to-be determined opponent will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. On Thursday, Rams defensive tackle Kobie Turner, offensive lineman Steve Avila and tight end Davis Allen left Hawaii to travel to Melbourne for a family-friendly fan combine that was expected to draw thousands at Margaret Court Arena. 'While many many people travel to L.A. and we have many of our international fans come to a game at SoFi every year, putting it in somebody's backyard makes it that much more accessible,' said Stephanie Cheng, the Rams' head of international and special projects. The Rams have sent ambassadors abroad before. Former running backs Steven Jackson and Todd Gurley made trips, and former safety Nick Scott accompanied the Super Bowl LVI trophy on a tour of Australia and Mexico. Advertisement Last March, safety Quentin Lake visited Japan. Though he was not there in an official capacity with the Rams, the fourth-year pro attended fashion week, an Ohtani-crazed Dodgers game against the Cubs and participated in other cultural activities. Lake's father, Carnell, a former NFL safety, played a 1996 exhibition game for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Chargers at the Tokyo Dome. During Lake's own trip, he worked out with Tokyo University defensive backs. 'You would think in Japan, they don't know football over there,' Lake said. 'But they were doing drills and I was genuinely impressed. They're playing football there in pads and helmets and I was like, this is insane. ... That really gave me an appreciation that football is expanding.' Rams safety Quentin Lake recently got a taste of how popular football is in Japan. (Ryan Sun / Associated Press) Jamison Collier, who describes herself as 'just a super fan,' serves on the Rams' fan council in Australia. Advertisement Collier's husband, Zachariah Sepulveda, grew up in Orange County, 'so his whole family supports the Rams,' she said. The couple played together on a mixed rugby team. But one day, after seeing a team playing American football, Sepulveda decided he wanted to play. After one season, he encouraged his wife to try a training session. 'I was hooked,' she said. Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jordan Mailata, an Australian who grew up playing rugby, made it to the NFL through the league's International Player Pathway Program. Now, he is a Super Bowl champion. Read more: Rams primed to be Super Bowl contenders, but two critical areas of concern remain Advertisement The Rams' scheduled game in Australia has created new fans, Collier said. 'Having Jordan Mailata play for the Philadelphia Eagles was a great way for the league to get exposure in Australia,' Collier said. 'But the Rams have really capitalized on that by being, 'Oh, well, look at that, we're going to come play.' 'So people that were kind of just getting their foot in the door of watching the game have gone, 'OK, well I don't have a team. The Rams are coming. They're my team,' which is how a lot of people tend to get into a team. Over here, it's one that's close to your home, or the first game you go to.' The Rams are not the only team expanding their brand in Australia. The Eagles, the Seattle Seahawks and the Las Vegas Raiders also have marketing rights. Advertisement Read more: Rams' new headquarters to be centerpiece of ambitious Warner Center development project Charlotte Offord, general manager of NFL Australia and New Zealand, said the NFL fan base has grown from 5.7 million to 7.5 million in nearly three years. The Rams were the first team to open the market, and have grown it through player appearances, social media channels, books, watch parties, flag football and cheerleading clinics. 'Australian fans love sports so much, but they want the authentic product,' Offord said. 'And so it's not about an Australian talking about the Rams to another Australian. They want an American voice. They want the authentic players, the real players... which really brings to life the Rams brand.' Advertisement By setting up a Super Bowl watch party in Australia a few years ago, and then winning the game, the Rams 'couldn't have asked for a better entry into the market,' said Lucas Barclay, vice president and general manager of the 160over90 agency that helps market the Rams. And Los Angeles as the 'gateway' to the United States for Australians taking direct flights also gives the Rams an advantage, he said. 'The majority of people fly through L.A.,' he said, 'and therefore L.A.'s become known as that team, that if you're going to an NFL game or want to start to discover or uncover the NFL, then the Rams themselves are the team to do it.' As the Rams prepare for their 10th season in L.A. since returning, they are anticipating another potential Super Bowl run. Advertisement Demoff noted that the fans who wore Rams T-shirts and jerseys as 5-year-olds in 2016 are now teenagers. In 10 years, those fans could be season-ticket holders to see the Rams play at a stadium that will also host the World Cup next year and the 2028 Olympics. Read more: Rams' chances of trading for cornerback Jalen Ramsey appear to be fading 'I don't think you look at the first decade and say, 'Check, we did that,'' Demoff said. 'We've had amazing growth, and when I look at all our metrics in terms of fandom and growth, I would say they're certainly where we had hoped they would be. 'But I still think we can push for more.' Advertisement Locally and globally. The goal is to be 'the world's team,' Demoff said. 'To be truly part of Los Angeles, you have to be part of the globe,' he said. 'And as we've looked at our international efforts, we're excited about the foothold and what we're trying to gain, but there's a lot more work to do.'
