The Los Angeles Rams took care of some very important business Friday, signing their entire 2019 draft class. Every rookie is now under contract heading into mandatory minicamp, which begins this week.
After signing them to their rookie contracts, the Rams gave their rookies a tour of the new Inglewood stadium. They got a close look at the construction grounds inside and outside the stadium, which is 70 percent complete.
Some of the rookies won’t be with the team next season when the Rams move into the new venue, but many of them – particularly the drafted ones – will get the chance to play in the $5 billion stadium.
Darrell Henderson and David Edwards should be among those still on the roster in 2020 and they can’t wait to play in the Rams’ future home.
“It’s exciting … but at the end of the day we still have to go out and do our job,” Henderson said, via the Rams’ official site. “But it’s going to be a great feeling to play in this stadium.”
Edwards called the venue “unreal” and marveled at the commitment the Rams and the community have shown to build the stadium.
“The commitment to building a world-class stadium and the commitment to the community is just really cool,” Edwards said. “This is like the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Bobby Evans echoed their sentiments by saying “it’s going to be a fun environment” when the Rams eventually move in next year. There’s a chance he’ll be a starter on the offensive line somewhere, potentially at left tackle if Andrew Whitworth retires.
