Random Ramsdom: Some hype for Jordan Whittington

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 6/24/25

Jordan Whittington was a rookie wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams last year, and after the incredible campaign Puka Nacua put together his rookie year, there was high expectations for Whittington. Now, as Whittington enters Year 2, is he about to take a major step forward? Or can we expect more of the same?

Whittington didn’t light it up his rookie year like Nacua, but Nacua was an exception, not the rule, so I can’t say Whittington had a disappointing first year because he made the roster and he had some moments. We’ll see what Whittington and the Rams can make happen in 2025.

Whitt seems poised entering Year 2 to work his way up as a rotational or starting player after Nacua, Davante Adams and Tutu Atwell. We’ll see. Please comment on whatever you want, thanks for checking Turf Show Times and have a great day!

“Breakout player: WR Jordan Whittington.

A preseason standout in 2024, Whittington impressed in his three starts, when last year’s sixth-round pick posted 6 catches for 62 yards, 7 for 89 and 3 for 86. His strong play continued during spring practices, when Puka Nacua was on an excused absence and Whittington took on a significant portion of the workload, drawing praise from several coaches on a team now in need of a strong WR3.”

Rams 53-man roster projection following OTAs and minicamp (ramswire)

“The Los Angeles Rams have hit the summer break portion of the offseason after completing minicamp in Maui. They’ll reconvene at Loyola Marymount on July 22 when rookies and veterans report to training camp, eventually putting on the pads and really ramping things up after what Sean McVay calls the “acclimation period” early in camp.

There are position battles all over the roster, even if not for spots in the starting lineup. Players on the backend of the roster will be fighting for their jobs at cornerback, offensive line and wide receiver, among others.

Here’s our latest projection of the 53-man roster now that OTAs and minicamp are done.”

“After finishing 21st in pass-blocking grade (65.3) and 25th in run-blocking grade (57.4) in 2024, the Texans spent the offseason revamping their offensive line,” wrote Cameron. “The unit is expected to continue evolving throughout training camp, but early indications suggest Houston could feature four new starters, with Tytus Howard as the lone returning starter.”

“Joining Howard in the current first-team lineup during minicamp are Cam Robinson, Laken Tomlinson, Jake Andrews and Blake Fisher. With rookie Aireontae Ersery, veterans Trent Brown and Ed Ingram, and 2023 picks Juice Scruggs and Jarrett Patterson all in the mix, the starting five remains far from settled heading into Week 1.”
