Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake, selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, attributed his draft position to injury concerns and a competitive class impacted by COVID-19. Despite being labeled as slow and not physical enough by scouts, he has evolved into a key player for the Rams, starting 16 games in 2024 and recording 111 tackles. After signing a three-year, $38.25 million extension, Lake’s team reached the NFC Championship, where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams are now considered Super Bowl favorites following a trade for Myles Garrett.
