Rams’ 23 most important players for 2023 – No. 19: DE Marquise Copeland

Marquise Copeland is in line to be a full-time starter this year, playing alongside Aaron Donald up front

Marquise Copeland was re-signed by the Los Angeles Rams this offseason and he’s now in line to start along the defensive line. He needs to earn that spot first but given the Rams’ lack of depth up front, there’s a good chance he’ll be on the field next to Aaron Donald for the first snaps in Week 1.

Copeland has never been a full-time starter before but the Rams are putting their faith in the former undrafted free agent. While he may not be the run defender that A’Shawn Robinson is, Copeland has good upside and is just 26 years old.

Hopefully he can stay healthy all season because the Rams need playmakers up front.
