Former Georgia Bulldogs standout running back Sony Michel is returning to the Los Angeles Rams.
Sony Michel is coming off a down year with the Los Angeles Chargers. Michel recorded a career-low 36 carries for 106 rushing yards last season.
Sony Michel is Georgia’s third all-time leading rusher with 3,638 yards. The 5-foot-11, 215-pound running back will compete for a roster spot with Los Angeles running backs Cam Akers, Zach Evans, and Kyren Williams.
Michel is a two-time Super Bowl champion. The former 2018 first-round draft pick played three seasons for the New England Patriots and played in 2021 with the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
In 2021, Sony Michel recorded 208 carries for 845 rushing yards and four touchdowns for the Rams. Los Angeles would love to see a healthy Sony Michel produce at that level in 2023.
The Rams announced that they were signing Sony Michel via Twitter:
