Rams presence at Brendan Sorsbys pro day may be about more than quarterback scouting
The Los Angeles Rams are expected to have a presence at Brendan Sorsby’s supplemental draft pro day on July 10, but don’t expect Sean McVay and Les Snead to suddenly develop quarterback envy.According to Jackson Durham of Chat Sports, the Rams along with all 31 other NFL teams are expected to attend the workout for the former Cincinnati and Texas Tech quarterback, who is entering July’s supplemental draft after a complicated eligibility saga tied to a gambling-related suspension.On the surface, the Rams’ attendance seems very odd.Los Angeles already has Matthew Stafford atop the depth chart, spent the No.13 overall pick on Ty Simpson in April, and still has Stetson Bennett on the roster.
The Rams are one of the few teams in the NFL that appear set at quarterback both now and for the future.But, the trip is far from meaningless.Rather, the gathering will provide the Rams with something they value almost as much as player evaluations: face-to-face conversations with rival front offices.The Rams famously skipped the NFL Combine for years, preferring private workouts and campus visits over crowded scouting events.But smaller league-wide gatherings have created opportunities for informal discussions that can eventually turn into major transactions.Earlier this offseason, conversations between the Rams and Browns regarding Myles Garrett reportedly began around league meetings months in advance before evolving into one of the biggest trades in franchise history.
