Rams LB Josh Forrest ready for year two in NFL
By Justin Beasley
Paducah Tilghman alum and former Kentucky Wildcat Josh Forrest is getting ready for his sophomore season in the NFL.
Forrest, a linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams, combined for nine tackles in 10 games last season before it ended with a knee injury in week 12.
The former Blue Tornado star has been back at Paducah Tilghman High School working out with his former high school football coach Randy Wyatt before he reports to training camp at the end of the month.
"I feel like it was pretty good,” Forrest said of his rookie season in the NFL. “I learned a lot and I feel like that is the goal to learn something new so you don't keep making the same mistakes."
Even though Forrest earned himself four starts in his rookie season his playing time was inconsistent in 2016, but with a full year under his belt he's hoping to see the field more this upcoming season.
"I have a little more knowledge and now I feel like my feet are wet,” Forrest said. “I think this year should be a good year for me."
“He did an absolutely wonderful job,” Wyatt said of Forrest’s first year in the league. “I was really proud of him. I know I didn't miss a game on television. Of course, I'm one of his biggest fans."
But at the same time a coach that Forrest can count on.
"I talk to coach Wyatt a lot,” Forrest said. “He gives a lot of information. He tells me what he sees on television … We kept that strong communication and bond from high school to college to now so he definitely knows a lot about me."
Forrest is the fourth Blue Tornado to play a game in the NFL along with Bryan Hall, George Wilson and Kurt Barber.
He reports to Rams training camp July 29.
