Strengthening an asset is always a wise choice. For some teams, it may be the only option.
The Los Angeles Rams revamped their WR room with the addition of All-Pro Davante Adams. The veteran wideout replaces former Rams Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp, now in Seattle. Furthermore, the Rams re-signed WR Tutu Atwell to a one-year deal earlier this month. While the unit, which also features All-Pro Puka Nacu, will offer a solid trio of weapons for veteran QB Matthew Stafford, the 2025 NFL Draft could further help solidify the Rams’ receiving corps as one of the best in the league.
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport listed the top WRs’ biggest strengths and best team fits, naming Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka a fit for the Rams.
It has already been a busy offseason for the Los Angeles Rams at wideout with the addition of Davante Adams and departure of Cooper Kupp. But a trio of Egbuka, Adams and Puka Nacua would be among the league’s best at the position.
Egbuka, who is ranked as the fourth-best WR on ESPN’s draft board, enjoyed a breakout year with the Buckeyes last season, recording 81 receptions for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns while helping lead Ohio State to a victory in the 2025 CFP National Championship game.
Emeka Egbuka Scouting Report:
Fluid athlete with good size and quality ball skills who works primarily from the slot. Egbuka runs his routes with tempo and pace. He does a nice job of influencing coverage when needed. He lacks the explosiveness to race past the coverage and is a little tight in his hips getting in and out of breaks. Egbuka’s baseball background shows up with his laser-focused ball-tracking and ability to make sudden adjustments to bring throws in for a safe landing. He’s not elusive or sudden after the catch but is competitive and can squeeze out additional yardage. Egbuka projects as an early starter at slot for teams running heavy amounts of three-wideout sets.
The 6-foot-1, 202-pound playmaker’s career accolades include a second-team All-Big Ten selection in 2022 and two-time third-team All-Big Ten in 2023 and 2024. The senior wide receiver finished his college career with 205 receptions, 2,868 receiving yards, and 24 touchdowns.
Egbuka’s 205 career catches rank first in Buckeye history, while his total receiving yards are the second-highest in the team’s history, and he is tied for seventh all-time in career touchdowns in program history.
