The Los Angeles Rams' defensive resurgence in the 2024 season has highlighted critical shortcomings that must be addressed ahead of the 2025 campaign. With a playoff appearance just within reach, the team faces pressing concerns, particularly in the cornerback position. Ahkello Witherspoon's average performance—31 tackles and 9 passes defended over 13 games—signals a need for an upgrade. His inconsistency and injury history raise doubts about his fit with the Rams. Meanwhile, Cobie Durant, with 40 tackles and 8 passes defended in 15 games, has shown growth but may not be enough as the primary option. With Witherspoon poised for free agency, the Rams must reassess their cornerback strategy to remain competitive.
