Rams' Jordan Whittington: Leads team in receiving yardage
Whittington secured five of eight targets for 52 yards during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Chargers.
Despite playing in just 36 of the Rams' 63 snaps on offense, Whittington led the team in receiving yards and was tied with Xavier Smith (who played 59 snaps) for targets and receptions. The rookie out of Texas has been solid through two preseason games with an 11-126-0 line over 82 snaps on offense. Head coach Sean McVay generally keeps his starters on the bench through the preseason, but Whittington may simply be on the field to get some valuable reps in before his rookie campaign begins. While Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp will start the year as the top two wideouts for the Rams, who will be their No. 3 wideout is less defined. Demarcus Robinson and Tutu Atwell have been vying for the role, but Whittington could easily make a case for the position if his preseason performances continue to impress.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Shines in preseason opener
Whittington caught six of nine targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 13-12 preseason win over the Cowboys.
The 2024 sixth-round pick led the Rams in catches, targets and receiving yards, including a 30-yard gain on the team's opening drive, but that performance came during a game in which Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua (knee), Demarcus Robinson and Tutu Atwell were all sitting out. Whittington has been making a strong impression at training camp and is on course to claim a spot on the 53-man roster, but he's still unlikely to see much action early in the regular season.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Impressing teammates
Whittington took some first-team reps last week, with teammate Cooper Kupp noting that the rookie is "pretty special" and "so impressive," Cameron DeSilva of Rams Wire reports.
Whittington was a top recruit for Texas back in 2019 and doesn't lack for size (6-foot-1, 205 pounds) or strength (18 bench press reps), but he lasted until Round 6 of the 2024 Draft after being overshadowed by early draft picks in the Longhorns offense throughout his college career. He never drew more than 72 targets in a season, and a hamstring injury this spring prevented him from running a 40-yard dash, which meant he didn't have an opportunity to alleviate concerns about a lack of speed. While it's a good sign Whittington is impressing veteran teammates early in training camp, DeSilva notes that Tutu Atwell seems to be the wide receiver competing with Demarcus Robinson for the No. 3 role. Whittington could perhaps jump into the competition if he continues performing well in practices, or at least make a push to be the next man up if either Kupp or Puka Nacua were to miss time.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Participating in OTAs
Whittington (hamstring) was spotted working out Tuesday during Rams' OTA session, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Whittington had been nursing a hamstring injury since early March, but he now seems to have moved past the issue. The 2024 sixth-round pick had an injury-riddled career at Texas, but he was still able to record 1,757 receiving yards and five touchdowns throughout his five years in college. Now that Whittington is healthy, he can compete for a depth spot in the Rams' wide receiver room this offseason.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Another pass catcher to Los Angeles
The Rams selected Whittington (hamstring) in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 213rd overall.
Whittington was a five-star recruit back in 2019, but three straight seasons mired by injuries to begin his collegiate career effectively shut the door on the wideout capitalizing on his potential. The Texas product is a well regarded leader who compiled 1,157 receiving yards combined the previous two seasons after finally staying healthy, but a hamstring injury close to the NFL Combine ruined any shot at the 23-year-old rising higher in the prospect ranks.
