Cornerbacks: Trumaine Johnson (2012-2017) & Janoris Jenkins (2012-2015)

For years, the Rams struggled both in the draft and through free agency to field a quality secondary. That all changed when Les Snead was hired as general manager in 2012. In his first draft, he selected two players that would solidify the cornerback position for the next few years: Janoris Jenkins and Trumaine Johnson.

The picks paid off in both the short and the long term. Jenkins was a force from Day 1. He snagged four interceptions and returned three of them for touchdowns, which tied an NFL record for a rookie. Johnson didn’t become a full-time starter until his second season, but became a staple of the secondary for half a decade. Jenkins and Johnson both complemented each other’s strengths well and proved to be a tough matchup for opposing receivers. Neither guy was perfect, but together they formed a formidable cornerback duo.

When the pair became free agents after the 2015 season, the Rams chose not to commit long-term to either of them. The position has been a revolving door since, ranging from a late-round draft pick in E.J. Gaines to a borderline Hall of Famer in Aqib Talib.

The Rams may have had more talented cornerbacks this decade, but Johnson and Jenkins are the only guys this decade to do it for multiple seasons while wearing horns.
