After a deep research... Chris "Pooh" Paul Jr. doesn’t feel like a normal 5th round pick, that we ended up stealing from the RAMS in waivers.
• Drafted by the Rams in Round 5 (#172) after they traded up!! They wanted him... and paid premium.
• 90.4 PFF grade, ONLY LB in the country above 90
• Butkus Award semifinalist
• First Team All-American (USA Today)
• Second Team All-SEC
That’s not typical 5th round production.... mostly because of size concerns. Now he’s already added 13 verified pounds (from 222 to 235) and attacked the biggest criticism on his profile!!
Note: this is the same Rams organization that found Puka Nacua in the 5th round too, different year...
When one of the best drafting teams in football trades up for a linebacker, it’s worth paying attention. The name to watch... "Pooh" Paul Jr.
