How many of the current Rams are/will be on the franchise's all-time roster?
Already There:
Aaron Donald: Cracking the all-time DL list for the Rams is no small feat, but I think Donald has surpassed players like Larry Brooks and Rosey Grier to secure a space with HOFers Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen and Jack Youngblood on the Rams all-time squad.
Johnny Hekker: Not only is he the Rams' all-time punter, he could be in the conversation for the NFL's all-time best before he finishes his career. His 184 career passing yards (producing 13 first downs and a TD) are a bonus!
Have a Chance:
Jared Goff: Sure, he has some great players to surpass in Kurt Warner, Norm Van Brocklin, Roman Gabriel, Jim Everett... but given his age (26) and the inflated passing numbers in today's game, he could retire with all of the Rams' passing records. If he adds a ring or two to his resume...
Jalen Ramsey
Another one who has a lot of years of resume building before he can enter the conversation, but from a talent standpoint, he could enter the conversation. Its nice to have him signed for what will be his prime. I also think that, with his size and physicality, he could transition to safety later in his career.
Tyler Higbee: This one is the product of an exceedingly low bar. Who is the top one now? Pete Holohan (3,981 career receiving yards)? If Higbee plays out his contract and continues his level of production, he may make the list almost by default.
Great Players, but... not All-time Best:
Robert Woods/Cooper Kupp: Way too long a line at WR: Elroy Hirsch, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Henry Ellard, Flipper Anderson, Harold Jackson. Still... glad to have these guys locked up for the next few seasons.
Andrew Whitworth: You have to appreciate his level of play in the latter years of his career, but no way he overtakes Orlando Pace and Jackie Slater.
