Rams Add 6-Foot-5 Target for Matthew Stafford in NFL Draft

The 2025 NFL Draft is under way and the Los Angeles Rams have always been one of the smartest drafting teams.

After trading out of the first round with the Atlanta Falcons, they had to wait until the second round to make their first splash in the draft.

General manager Les Snead has been known as one of the leagues best masterminds in the NFL, with a knack for finding incredible talent in seemingly every single draft.

With his first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams select Oregon Ducks tight end Terrance Ferguson with the No. 46 pick.

With this pick, the Rams offensive weapons are almost complete. Matthew Stafford's weapons consist of Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, and now Terrance Ferguson.

Ferguson is a 6-foot-5 tight end and incredible playmaker who set records during his time at Oregon.

He is the Ducks' all-time leader in receptions (134) and receiving touchdowns (16) for tight ends throughout his four year career.

His game should translate to the NFL very easily, as he is a fast playmaker with reliable hands, and should be a great reliable weapon after the injuries to Tyler Higbee plagued his 2024 campaign.

At the NFL Combine, Ferguson ran the fastest 40-yard dash amongst tight ends with a 4.63, which will help him break free from coverage and get yards after the catch.

The Rams' next pick will be pick No. 90 in the third round, unless Snead has another trade up his sleeve.
