There will be two new starters at outside linebacker for the Rams next season after Dante Fowler Jr. left in free agency and Clay Matthews was cut in a cap-saving move. Leonard Floyd will likely be one of the starters, but there’s not as much clarity at the other spot.
Alabama pass rusher Terrell Lewis would make a lot of sense for Los Angeles as a second-round target and the team is showing interest in him before the draft. According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Rams had a pre-draft video conference with Lewis.
Lewis is one of the most interesting prospects in the class due to his lack of experience and durability concerns. He missed 10 games in 2017 with an arm injury and then sat out the entire 2018 season after tearing his ACL in the summer. He returned last season and put together a quality campaign, racking up 11.5 tackles for loss and six sacks with two passes defensed.
He brings excellent size to the table at 6-foot-5, 262 pounds, with the length coaches like to see at the position. As a pure pass rusher, he’s one of the top players in the class. There are just concerns about his durability and lack of college production.
