The Los Angeles Rams aren’t taking a traditional approach to their special teams unit this year. They let Riley Dixon walk in free agency, lost Matt Gay to the Colts and didn’t re-sign Matthew Orzech, leaving them without a single specialist heading into the draft.
They only selected a punter, Ethan Evans, but they signed a long snapper and two kickers as undrafted rookies following the draft. They still have a kicker battle to sort out and the rookies, as inexperienced as they are, are just getting their feet wet, but new special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn is encouraged.
