OLBs Samson Ebukam and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo
Leonard Floyd is going to be one of the starting outside linebackers, just given the fact that the Rams gave him $10 million guaranteed. However, it remains to be seen who will be the starter on the weakside where Dante Fowler Jr. played. It could be Ebukam or Okoronkwo, or rookie Terrell Lewis could step up.
But since Ebukam and Okoronkwo each have more experience than Lewis, they carry higher expectations than the rookie. And as such, one of them will need to show they can start and contribute as pass rushers. They shouldn’t be expected to completely replace Fowler’s production, but it’s not unreasonable for Ebukam and Okoronkwo to combine for 10-12 sacks.
Whenever training camp starts, this will be a position battle to watch because of how important it is to the success of the Rams’ defense as a whole, but specifically their pass rush.
