With the 213th overall pick, the Los Angeles Rams took Texas wide receiver Jordan Whittington to pair with All-Pros Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. The selection was initially viewed as a solid depth piece at wideout. However, a larger role might be carved out for the rookie following the surprise trade of Ben Skowronek to the Houston Texans on Thursday.
Is Whittington a lock to make the 53-man roster after the Skowronek trade? There’s reason to believe the Longhorns playmaker is in line to become the next Rams late-round star after Nacua last season.
