Rookie Beaux Limmer establishes himself as a key player for Sean McVay and the Rams

Sean McVay recently took to the media to give praise to rookie center Beaux Limmer after his NFL debut.

Beaux Limmer went from being a developmental project coming out of Arkansas to being thrust into the Rams’ lineup after a slew of injuries impacted the team’s offensive line.

Despite the bright lights and the Lions’ vaunted pass rush, Limmer held his own out there, accelerating his development timeline.

Sean McVay came away impressed with the sixth-round rookie, who stepped in after Steve Avila got hurt in Week 1.

“I thought he did a great job,” McVay said this week. “He’s answered the bell every time he’s gotten opportunities whether that was in the Texans joint practice, having to step up in some of the situations against Dallas, and then (Sunday). I was really pleased with him in that atmosphere, that environment to handle it the way that he did. I wouldn’t say that I was surprised though based on what I’ve seen from him. It was impressive and yes, he will get some work moving forward. I have a lot of confidence in Beaux.”

While the Rams rework their offensive line, it looks like Limmer could be establishing himself as the Rams’ long-term solution at center.
