ILB Travin Howard
The Rams have yet to find a starting-caliber linebacker next to Cory Littleton. Howard received more playing time in the final five games of the season, and for the most part, he held up fairly well in coverage. He broke up three passes and only allowed a completion rate of 60% when targeted. He also didn’t miss a single tackle on 16 attempts.
If Littleton leaves, Howard is a candidate to replace him at inside linebacker. Even if Littleton is back, Howard will have a chance to compete for snaps next to him. The Rams frequently gave those snaps to safety Marqui Christian, but they need a legitimate linebacker to take over that role next season.
