The Los Angeles Rams have waived former Georgia Bulldogs star safety Richard LeCounte. The Rams signed LeCounte to a reserves and futures contract in December, and they are moving on from the former Georgia defender.
LeCounte had previously played in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland selected LeCounte with a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft. LeCounte appeared in 10 games and recorded three tackles during his time with the Browns from 2021-2022.
The former University of Georgia standout was a playmaker in college. LeCounte finished his UGA career with 176 total tackles, eight interceptions and four forced fumbles.
LeCounte recorded four tackles in the Rams’ preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Now, he will look for a new NFL home ahead of the 2023 season.
