With training camp almost finished and the regular season right around the corner, things are heating up on the field for the Los Angeles Rams. They just had their first joint practice of the summer with the Dallas Cowboys and on Saturday, they’ll play the Los Angeles Chargers in the preseason.
Nick Scott is a player who should be a near-lock to make the 53-man roster thanks to his special teams ability alone, but he’s trying to carve out a role on defense as key contributor at safety, just as he was last season when Taylor Rapp, Terrell Burgess and Jordan Fuller were out with injuries.
Scott has had a strong training camp, making solid plays in coverage that have caught the attention of Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford. He’ll need to continue rising in order to earn more snaps at safety, which he discussed on the first episode of the Rams’ web series, “Behind the Grind.”
Scott talks about the grind of camp, what makes it fun, his transition from running back to safety and his special teams ability.

The Rams produced “Behind the Grind” back in 2018 and 2019, as well, so it’s good to see the series return. It gives fans a peek behind the curtain, even if only briefly.
