How St. Louis Rams Can Make Michael Sam Fit on 2014 Roster
With three of the four preseason games now in the books for the St. Louis Rams, rookie defensive end Michael Sam is one game away from turning his lifelong dream into a reality.That doesn’t mean Sam has solidified his spot on the Rams’ 53-man roster, because a lot can change between now and September 7, but things do look promising for the seventh-round pick out of Missouri.
Heading into the preseason finale, Sam has tallied three quarterback sacks, four quarterback hits and five combined tackles. Even though those numbers have come against second- and third-string offensive linemen, they are impressive nonetheless.
This, in turn, means Sam has undeniably produced when asked to and deserves a roster spot because of his production. However, if the Rams do opt to keep Sam on the 53-man roster, their front-office staff will have to get creative.
