Slow news so figured any kind of news is worth a thread even if it's practice squad depth. Competition for the return job though so you never know he might make it on special teams.

The Rams have signed undrafted free agent Otis Anderson Jr., he and his representation announced on social media Wednesday.
Anderson, who is not related to Super Bowl XXV MVP Ottis “O.J.” Anderson, played running back and receiver at the University of Central Florida. He also was a kick returner in his sophomore and junior seasons.
He finished his college career with 358 carries for 2,182 yards and 17 touchdowns, while adding 91 catches for 1,025 yards and nine touchdowns. Anderson also returned a kickoff for a touchdown.
His 6.1 yards per carry ranks second all-time at UCF and his 3,708 all-purpose yards and 27 total touchdowns both rank eighth in school annals.
Anderson earned second-team all-conference honors last season when he rushed for 687 yards and scored four touchdowns in nine games. He made five starts at running back.

Seems to have a pretty fluid change of hands when he needs to. Possible change of pace back too? Highlights are highlights but he looks like he can play.

Otis is just a fantastic name. I had a kitten named Otis back in the nineties. I lived in a band house and couldn't always afford to feed us both some days.... So I fed him first because he terrified me when he was hungry.

This furry nightmare tackled a damn Italian sub out of my hand one day when he wasn't EVEN hungry. I was soooo hungry and still harbor ill will towards him for that.

My point is. Don't fuck with ANY OTIS!!! They have inherent farm/Aaron Donald strength and no regard for humans. I pray for the souls that get in this dudes way.

Between him, Atwell, and Djax I think our plan is to field the smallest set of skill players on the field at once to lure the defense into a false sense of security.

This guy is our new punt returner.

He doesn't dance around back there, he makes one cut, and heads upfield. And has speed to burn.

If he can be the punt returner then he can replace Jones as the #4 RB. This looks like a DeCamillis signing, looking for a returner.

Interesting. Does this mean they are not so pleased with the return candidates that are already on the team?

I like his no nonsense style. He's the antithesis of Tavon.

Only returned kicks, short at 5-9 is more quick than fast, top end speed only 4.52, however, very good catching the football. IMO, I like others on the roster over him, but it's June.

Yeah I have youtube muted by default and never unmute to even check what is playing on highlight videos because it's always awful.
