the Los Angeles Rams seem to have found a true gem in the late rounds of this year's draft and if you haven't heard of Jordan Whittington yet it's time to start paying attention we're talking about a rookie who didn't just surprise but practically dominated in his NFL preseason debut have you ever seen a sixth round pick make an impact this quickly well Shawn McVey the Tactical Mastermind behind the Rams certainly has and he's already making bold comparisons let's get straight to it Whittington a wide receiver from the University of Texas did what many rookies dream of doing but few achieve six receptions 74 yards and most importantly he was crucial in securing the Rams victory over the Cowboys 13 to2 we're talking about a performance that left McVey ecstatic to the point where he compared him to the rising Talent puka nakua and look if there's anyone who understands Talent it's McVey now what makes this even more fascinating is how Wedington played he didn't just run routs or catch passes he did it with a maturity and physicality that are rare in rookies McVey didn't hold back on the praise saying the young wide out played like a grown man and folks that coming from McVey is the football equivalent of a blessing but before you start booking your ticket to see Whittington in action during the regular season remember that the NFL is unforgiving a preseason game is just that pre-season the challenge for Whittington now is to keep impressing especially considering the strong competition he faces in the Rams wide receiver group with stars like Cooper cup Demarcus Robinson and of course puka nakua ahead of him the road to a prominent spot won't be easy however the comparisons to NAA and the fact that McVey is already eyeing wittington as a potential factor for the team suggest that we might be witnessing the emergence of something special McVey might use him as injury insurance or in specific situations where his ability to break tackles and gain extra yards makes a difference so Rams Fans the question remains can wittington be the missing piece to help the Rams take the next step towards postseason success or are we just seeing the shine of a rookie who still needs to prove his worth longterm either way don't miss the next preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers after all Jordan whittington's story is just beginning and you won't want to miss a single chapter
