The Los Angeles Rams have made several splashes on the defensive side of the ball this offseason, but they are rightfully excited about their offense as well.

With Matthew Stafford returning at quarterback and a wide receiver core that includes Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, the Rams should have no problem putting up points next season.

L.A. believes they may have even gotten better offensively after trading up to select wide receiver CJ Daniels out of the University of Miami in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Daniels should complement the rest of the group well as he had the lowest drop rate and second-highest contested catch rate over the past two NCAA seasons, via sports reporter Wyatt Miller:

Daniels caught 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games with the Hurricanes last season, making it all the way to the national championship game before falling to the Indiana Hoosiers.

Daniels adds depth to a loaded Rams wide receiver room that includes Nacua, Adams, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith, among others.

Although he probably won’t start for the team next season, Daniels should still get plenty of opportunities to contribute regardless.

Myles Garrett works out with Will Anderson Jr.

With training camps set to begin later this month, many players are starting to prepare for the 2026 season by resuming football activities.

That includes Rams star Myles Garrett, who recently trained with Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. and pass rush specialist Brandon Jordan.

Garrett and Anderson are two of the best players at their respective positions, so it’s no surprise they are working out together for the third consecutive offseason.

Garrett, who was acquired by the Rams in last month’s blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns, is coming off a historic season that saw him record an NFL-record 23 sacks en route to being named Defensive Player of the Year.
