Loveland is 6-foot-5 and is a terrific athlete, making him a legitimate receiving threat at the tight end spot. The Rams lacked playmakers around Puka Nacua last season and Loveland would give them a player who can catch passes down the seam and stretch field against linebackers and safeties.

The Rams had contract issues to solve with Matthew Stafford all the way up to training camp last year. Coach Sean McVay aims to avoid a repeat this year.

The strength of a franchise can not be judged by the amount of wins one achieves but by how those wins came to be and what it took to achieve such victories.
