The Rams didn’t draft Tutu Atwell strictly for his speed, but that’s a big part of his game – especially given his underwhelming size. He has the ability to blow by a defense, take a short pass and turn it into a long gain and impact the game on special teams with his blazing speed.
He showed off those wheels early in Saturday night’s game against the Chargers, catching a short pass from Duck Hodges and turning upfield quickly for the first down – and more.

Atwell had two catches on the first drive, as well as a long punt return that was called back by a penalty. It’s good to see him getting involved early.
