4 Rams players who could earn bigger roles in 2020

Williams played extremely well down the stretch for the Rams, picking off two passes in the final two games with four total pass breakups. Carving out a role in 2020 will be tough with Jalen Ramsey, Troy Hill and Nickell Robey-Coleman all presumably starting, but he should find himself as the No. 4 cornerback on the depth chart – yes, even ahead of David Long Jr.

That’s all dependent on how each plays during camp and the preseason, of course, but Williams has ball skills that can’t be ignored. The Rams should give him an opportunity to compete with Long for snaps next season as the dime cornerback.

It’s also possible (though unlikely) the Rams decline Robey-Coleman’s option for 2020 and insert either Long or Williams in as a starter, thus moving both players up the depth chart. Again, it’s unlikely to happen, but the Rams can save $4.5 million by moving on from Robey-Coleman.
