Rams Claim DB Darius Williams off Waivers - Roster now at 53

[André]

Wow drafted in the 4th round and cut that same year.

Yeah, was wondering the story there ...

 

[1maGoh]

Is there not a single pass that specialist that's any kind of decent on a practice squad somewhere?

 

[janthony6]

McVay could probably call Gruden up and acquire Gareon Conley for a 5th or 6th.

 

[hotanez]

Yeah, was wondering the story there ...

from what I found on the guy, he sounds extremely raw. Sounds like Saints drafted way to early.

 

[yrba1]

Nice, you can never have too many DBs, especially with Talib down and Peters not 100%

 

[Soul Surfer]

Rick Leonard
Age: 21
6' 7"
311 lbs

He is ideal size and still really young and only played tackle for two years

Let's do to the Saints what we did to the Colts by turning this guy into starter material.

Let's Blythe his ass!

if anybody can do it. it's Kromer.

 

[Soul Surfer]

if anybody can do it. it's Kromer.

I'm almost as excited about getting him as I am McVay.

 

[den-the-coach]

Much faster than Hatfield ran a 4.36, so maybe he's the real McCoy.

 

[Merlin]

He's more of a slot CB (5'9" 187), but he's super athletic (4.44 40, 39" Vert, and 6.84 3CD). I recall Ravens fans being excited about him during the preseason and camp. I'm thinking he's depth behind NRC. He was a PFF favorite last year at UAB (second highest coverage grade in CFB and a 34.6 Passer Rating when targeted). Had 15 PDs and 5 picks.

Yep and add that the Rams' coaches got a great look at him during joint camp practices prior to the preseason tilt. I don't usually get too riled up by pickups at this point and all but this guy might have something they can coach up. Glad to see the addition.

Rams sign 2018 4th-round pick Rick Leonard to practice squad

By: Cameron DaSilva | 20 hours ago

The Los Angeles Rams made an addition to their practice squad on Tuesday, signing a former fourth-round pick. The team announced it has signed offensive tackle Rick Leonard, who was taken 127th overall this year by the Saints
The move comes one day after the Colts poached Evan Boehm from the Rams’ practice squad, leaving Los Angeles with just nine players on the squad.

Leonard was waived by the Saints on Sept. 1 and signed to their practice squad the next day, but was released last week. He stands at 6-foot-7, 311 pounds and played his college ball at Florida State

Was upset that the Colts poached Boehm thought he was good insurance. As to Leonard, he was drafted in the 4th round, however, most grades had him in the 7th or a rookie free agent. Hopefully Aaron Kromer can work his magic.

The only Florida School I like are the Golden Knights of Central Florida and that's only because it was the first university that I was accepted to....Never cared for Miami, Florida State or Florida and I'm not sure why, but I always root against them and when they are playing each other, I always root for the team who is the underdog and again not sure why?

It was decided for me before birth. My Grandmother was good friends with Bobby Bowden. Kinda funny too because both of my Grandparents on the other side went to UF.

My oldest graduated from UCF. You've seen @Ramrasta around here I'm sure. He's a civil engineer now... but he is still going to the Knight games and we love us some Knights! 2017 National Champs baby!!!

My twins are currently juniors at FSU. Home at the moment due to the hurricane... the campus closed down on Tuesday for the whole week... so I have twin boys and a girlfriend eating me out of house and home till Sunday... then they'll head back up to Tallahassee.

I don't mind the Miami Hurricanes. I have friends who went to school there. I'll root for them if they're not playing the Noles or Knights.

But let me tell you... there's nothing more obnoxious than a gator fan. I hate the gators and their swamp. You are either a Nole or a gator... there is NO in between. Biggest rivals here in the Sunshine State.

Oh... and the Knights are no longer the "Golden" Knights anymore. They dropped the "Golden" a few years back... they now just call themselves the Knights.

They will always be the Golden Knights to me, but thanks for the update sir.

Congrats on getting your children through School, my son Graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Software Engineer (Same School Matt Patricia Graduated from) and my Daughter is set to attend UCONN (University of Connecticut) next fall as a Pre-law major, thank goodness they take after their mother.

I did like Florida somewhat when they were coached by Charles Byron Pell and I liked Bobby Bowden just not his team and they portrayed Bowden really well in the movie "We Are Marshall." Anyway I think Florida State is in trouble with Taggert, but it seems like a great environment

I agree about Taggert. He coached that game over the weekend against the Hurricanes like Jeff Fisher. Painful viewing.

Nole Nation is very unhappy with him. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets a quick hook.

I think they give him one more year then they go after somebody with a big name not sure who? I love Matt Campbell from Iowa State, but he's a Midwest guy with a defensive background and might not be a big enough name, but James Franklin would be a coup and might just leave State College for Tallahassee.
