The Los Angeles Rams made a strategic move in the NFL draft by selecting Terrance Ferguson, a tight end from Oregon, with the 46th overall pick. This selection comes after the Rams traded their first-round pick to bolster a position group featuring Tyler Higbee and others. Ferguson expressed excitement about joining a team led by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has a strong connection with Ferguson's family, especially his younger brother, a lifelong Stafford fan.

Rams head coach Sean McVay also took time out of draft preparations to inspire first responders from local fire and law enforcement agencies, showcasing the Rams' commitment to community service. Several players attended the event, including Stafford and running back Kyren Williams, who emphasized the importance of honoring true heroes in their community.
