“You can never have enough midget wide receivers!”

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Return specialist, and I got his first name wrong, mods can edit thread title please. Eagles fans sound upset that he's gone.

Sounds like a good return man. Not a bad add, at the very least giving competition to Xavier Smith.

Stoops and his PEDS makes an extra spot available as well.The Rams weren’t able to correct not drafting a WR.

Anytime The Rams try to make the team better is a good thing.

 

[Flipper]

Heh, Sean McVay is on an eternal quest to find receivers that remind him of himself in college. I like Smith and will root for him, but if Covey is better, than fair enough.

 

[Stl2La]

Eagles fan seemed to love this guy. Looks like he will be our main punt returner.

 

[ReekofRams]

He’s fast, shifty, and can break tackles. I think Xavier Smith should be very concerned.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Xavier Smith was actually a stud WR in college, I don't see any return highlights from college, only catches and outrunning literally everyone. I hope he gets a chance to make the team at his best position.

 

[Ground Chuck]

This acquisition certainly cements the Rams as a team of destiny to be playing in Santa Clara, Feb, 2026.

This guys a big time returner! He can really help in that area, and he might have something to give at receiver, too!

I guess the NFL blocks such videos, so you'll have to search for him there.

 

[Ellard80]

in 2023 lead NFL in punt return yardage.

 

[Merlin]

Finally some seriousness with finding returners for this roster. Feels good.

He's the grandson of best-selling author Stephen Covey, best known for The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

So I guess Covey lost the PR job to Cooper De Jean? De Jean is a freak, so pretty understandable.

To my eye, Covey will be a noticeable upgrade over Xavier Smith.

 

[Ram65]

About damn time. Rams are doing their homework. Now, get some players to block the gunners better.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Like it.

X Smith needs to get more touches on offense anyway. He’s a football player.

If Smith was a good receiver at this level, then we likely would have seen more of him. The cream always rises to the top. Coaches know who is good in camp, hence a fifth round receiver making an immediate and huge impact on the offense in the first game of the season.

I'd assume so. DeJean is pretty much elite in everything he does. Kid is SUCH a stud.
