Rams sign Punter Riley Dixon

[PARAM]

Probably camp competition, wouldn’t surprise me if we spend a 5th at best for Matt Araiza

I wouldn't waste a draft pick on punting "competition". They're not all gonna get drafted. Best UDFA will be happy to come to L.A..

I don't like it.

Why? Dixon solid punter and was actually one of the few Giant assets. Also Dixon is an excellent holder, plus can pass in punt formation as like Hekker was a High School Quarterback and a very good athlete. Played at Syracuse, so from the neck up, Dixon has something and Dixon has a history with Special Teams Coach Joe DeCamillis plus Dixon is a Ginger.

So again @ArkyRamsFan my Ram Brother from The Natural State, what's not to like?

He’s experienced and solid. He’s a big guy, too 6’ 4”.

With this loaded punting class, no way they are all getting drafted... Rams are probably thinking an UDFA to compete with Dixon. If the rookie can’t beat him out, then we ride the experienced and solid Dixon.

What makes a punting class "loaded" lol?

One that would make Jeff Fisher pop a woodrow in anticipation of all the field position he could garner?

There are just a lot of solid prospects in it.

This piece really highlights that;

The Rams chose the right year to have need at punter

Camp fodder ...

I'm guessing we probably draft one as well and let them fight it out in Camp.
