Rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington impresses in the preseason, securing his spot on the Los Angeles Rams roster with standout performances.
Bollywood Fever: The Los Angeles Rams are making waves this preseason, boasting a 2-0 record with just one game remaining before the regular season kicks off.
While preseason wins don’t impact the standings, player performance—particularly from rookies—is what truly stands out.
One rookie who has been particularly impressive is wide receiver Jordan Whittington. Selected in the sixth round of the draft, Whittington currently leads the NFL in preseason receptions, making a strong case for a spot on the Rams’ roster.
He has caught 11 passes on 17 targets, totaling 126 yards, with an impressive 52 yards coming after the catch.
As the Rams gear up for their final preseason game against the Houston Texans, there’s speculation that Whittington may sit out to avoid injury, having already demonstrated his potential and likely secured his place on the team.
With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua expected to be the primary targets this season, the Rams are searching for depth in their receiving corps.
Last season, Demarcus Robinson filled the third receiver role, but it’s uncertain if he can replicate that success this year. Whittington’s preseason performance suggests he could be a reliable option in the lineup.
During his college career at the University of Texas, Whittington had a solid senior season with 42 receptions for 505 yards and one touchdown.
His impressive showing in the preseason has caught the attention of the Rams’ coaching staff, and if he continues to develop, the team could have a formidable receiving group heading into the regular season.
