After revealing jersey numbers for each member of the 2020 draft class, the Los Angeles Rams have now announced which numbers their free-agent additions will wear next season.
Leonard Floyd and A’Shawn Robinson were the only outside free agents signed by the Rams, and both figure to play key roles on defense in 2020. They’ll both be wearing different numbers than they wore with their previous teams, too.
Floyd is taking No. 54, which was worn by Bryce Hager last year, and Robinson will wear No. 94. Coincidentally, Floyd wore No. 94 with the Bears, but perhaps he wanted a new number with this fresh start in L.A.
Floyd expects to be one of the starting outside linebackers for Los Angeles, helping replace Dante Fowler Jr. and Clay Matthews. He’ll likely play strongside linebacker, which is where Matthews lined up, primarily stopping the run while also rushing the passer.
Robinson will play all across the defensive line, spending time at defensive end, nose tackle and 3-technique when Aaron Donald needs a breather. The Rams signed him after Michael Brockers agreed to terms with the Ravens, but now L.A. will benefit from having both in the mix.
