Rams tight ends: An embarrassment of riches?

By drafting Max Klare in Round 2 and signing two promising tight ends from the undrafted ranks, Dan Villari and Rohan Jones, it appears as if these multi-tight end sets are the plan of attack going forward. As the 2026 NFL Draft drew nearer, many fans questioned the L.

A. depth at wide receiver and expected the Rams to supplement the unit in the draft, instead the Rams stocked up on tight ends, now entering OTAs with eight bodies. It might be that Sean McVay is adjusting to all the umbrella shells thrown at the Rams to neutralize their mid/deep passing game, or it could that the L.

A. head man is looking back to his roots as a play caller. As the Washington Commanders offensive coordinator from 2014-2016, McVay targeted his tight ends at a 25 percent clip.

In his first eight years in L. A. , the targets dropped to a shade over 18 percent.
