Defensive Line

  • Aaron Donald
  • Michael Brockers
  • Dante Fowler Jr.
  • Sebastian Joseph-Day
  • John Franklin-Myers
  • Greg Gaines
  • Tanzel Smart
  • Samson Ebukam
  • Morgan Fox
  • Marquise Copeland

Aaron Donald is a wrecking ball to an offense all by himself as evidenced by his back-to-back DPOY awards. Brockers is a good complement as a versatile lineman that can play inside or outside. Fowler Jr., Ebukam, Franklin-Myers, and Fox will work together to create most of the pass rush off the edge for the Rams. Joseph-Day, Gaines, and Smart will rotate at the other defensive tackle spot opposite of Donald. Copeland is an undrafted rookie that can make the team with his inside-outside versatility.
