Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  We are pleased to present our post-2025 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Rams.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Rams had a phenomenal year, going 12-5 and making it to the NFC Championship Game, falling to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks in a tight contest.  As the Rams have been around for a century, it takes a lot to enter this list, and there were no new additions and only one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Aaron Donald
2. Merlin Olsen
3. Deacon Jones
4. Jack Youngblood
5. Orlando Pace

You can find the complete list here:

The only elevation was Quarterback Matthew Stafford, the reigning MVP, who jumped to #31 from #41.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

A superstar in both football and baseball at USC, Washington couldn't join the National Football League because of its segregationist policies, so he dominated for the Hollywood Bears in the Pacific Coast Professional Football League, where he was their best player.  When the Cleveland Rams relocated to Los Angeles, the time was right for reintegration, and the Rams signed him (along with Woody Strode).  Washington’s knees were already banged up, and his tenure in the NFL was only three years, but his role in football should never be discounted. 

His overall impact definitely earns him his place on this list.  If only!!!

Cooper Kupp, who is now with the Seattle Seahawks, was unable to move from #31.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford makes his debut at #41.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Matthew Stafford arrived in Los Angeles in early 2021 carrying the weight of twelve seasons in Detroit, where the numbers were always there, and the wins almost never were. The Rams gave up Jared Goff and a pair of first-round picks to get him, and many thought they had overpaid for a quarterback whose arm was bigger than his résumé. He proved them wrong almost immediately. 

In Sean McVay’s offense, he found a home with Cooper Kupp and a defense that could finish games. The Rams went 12-5, reached Super Bowl LVI at their own stadium, and beat the Bengals 23-20. Stafford threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns. On the final drive, with the game on the line, he looked off a safety and fired a no-look pass to Kupp for 22 yards that set up the winning score. It was the throw of a man who had waited a long time for that moment and refused to miss it.

The years that followed were harder. Injuries limited him in 2022, and the Rams bottomed out. He came back in 2023 and threw for 3,965 yards and 24 touchdowns, earned another Pro Bowl nod, and finished eighth in MVP voting. The arm was still live, the deep ball still on time, and he kept the offense moving even when the pieces around him changed. 2024 was solid, but it felt like a bridge to something better.

That something arrived in 2025. At 37, after nursing a back injury through training camp, Stafford led the league with 4,707 yards and a career-high 46 touchdowns, while throwing only eight interceptions. His passer rating hit 109.2. He earned First-Team All-Pro honors and his third Pro Bowl selection, then was named the NFL’s MVP. He threw touchdowns to every level of the field, from deep shots to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams to precise intermediate throws that kept drives alive. The Rams went 12-5 again, won two playoff games, and reached the NFC Championship before falling to Seattle. It was the fullest expression of everything the trade had promised.

Stafford enters the 2026 season still the Rams’ quarterback and still capable of the throws that change games. The Super Bowl ring and the MVP trophy sit on the same shelf, and the production has been consistent enough that he already ranks among the most accomplished passers in franchise history since he arrived. With Los Angeles, he has thrown for more than 19,000 yards and well over 130 touchdowns in five seasons. The skepticism that greeted the trade is long gone. What remains is a quarterback who has already delivered the biggest moments and shows no sign he is finished making more.

Last year, the Rams made it back to the playoffs but were bounced in the opening round by the Detroit Lions.  There were no new entrants in the Top 50, but there were two elevations, including a brand new number one.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a major change:

1. Aaron Donald
2. Merlin Olsen

Three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald overtook fellow Defensive Tackle Merlin Olsen to take over the top spot.  Donald retired after the 2023 Season.

The only other change was Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp, who advanced two spots to #31.

Football lost a great one as Quarterback Roman Gabriel passed away this morning.  He was 83 years old.

A two-time All-American and two-time ACC Player of the Year, Gabriel was drafted second overall in 1962 by the Los Angeles Rams.  Despite his high selection, it was not until George Allen came into Coach in 1966 that he was given the full-time role as the Rams starting Quarterback.   Gabriel went to the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons (1967-69) and was named a First Team All-Pro and MVP in 1969.  That year, he led the NFL in Touchdown Passes (24) and only threw seven picks.  The Rams traded Gabriel to Philadelphia after the 1972 Season, and in 1974, he added a fourth Pro Bowl and again led the league in Touchdown Passes (23), and was the NFL Passing Yards leader with 3,219.

Gabriel retired after the 1977 Season and had 29,444 Passing Yards with 201 Touchdowns.

We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to Roman Gabriel's fans, friends, and family.

Aaron Donald, a man on the Mount Rushmore of Defensive Tackles, dominated from his first NFL snap in 2014 to his last one in 2023.

Drafted 10^th Overall from Pittsburgh by the St. Louis Rams, Donald was incredibly difficult to counter.  Blessed with an explosive first step off the snap, Donald could overpower any offensive lineman but was equally gifted in swimming and maneuvering past them.  Donald was best known for his pass rush, but his run defence was equally effective.  He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, made the Pro Bowl, and was about to become the best defensive player in the game.

From 2015 to 2021, Donald had one of the most dominating runs of a player, regardless of position.  He was named the Defensive Player of the Year three times, and in the seasons he didn’t win, he was a top-five finisher.  Named a First Team All-Pro in all of those campaigns, Donald twice led the league in Tackles for Loss (2018 & 2019), Sacks once (2018), and Approximate Value once (2020).  This stretch of destruction was punctuated by a Super Bowl win over Cincinnati.

Donald played two more seasons, added a seventh First Team All-Pro and went out on top in 2023.  He left the gridiron with an extraordinary Approximate Value of 153 in 154 Games, 111 Sacks, 176 Tackles for Loss and 260 Quarterback Hits.

Donald will be a no-brainer for Canton in 2029.

There are a lot of Quarterbacks and Offensive Coordinators who are breathing easier today.

Aaron Donald, the most terrorizing Defensive Player in the last ten years, has announced his retirement after ten years in the NFL, all with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams. 

Drafted 13^th Overall in 2014 from Pittsburgh, Donald accomplished everything a player could.  Named to the Pro Bowl in all ten of his campaigns, Donald was a First Team All-Pro in seven of them and won three Defensive Player of the Year Awards.  Donald also won the Defensive Rookie of the Year and achieved the ultimate goal: a Super Bowl win.

Donald retires with 111 Sacks, 176 Tackles for Loss, 260 Quarterback Sacks and 543 Combined Tackles.  He will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2029 and is a lock to enter on the first ballot.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Aaron Donald the best in his post-playing career.

Eddie Meador, the top Defensive Back for the Los Angeles Rams during the 1960s, passed away yesterday at the age of 86.

Meador, who still holds the Rams record for Interceptions (46), Defensive Fumble Recoveries (18) and Blocked Kicks (10) joined the team as a seventh round pick in 1959 from Arkansas Tech. An immediate starter as a rookie, Meador went to six Pro Bowls (1960 & 1964-68), was a two-time First Team All-Pro (1968 & 1969), and was chosen for the 1960s All-Decade Team. The Rams named him to their team MVP in 1964 and their Defensive Back of the Year seven times.

Despite his accomplishments, Meador was never a Hall of Fame Finalist as a Modern Candidate. A Semi-Finalist this year in the Senior Category, he did not make it as one of the three Finalists, with those spots going to Randy Gradishar, Steve McMichael and Art Powell.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Eddie Meador.

That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Two years ago, the Rams won it all, but last year they were unable to make it to a winning record. They still had one elevation and one new entrant based on last season.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

1. Merlin Olsen

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

You can find the entire list here.

Aaron Donald, who came last year at #2 remains there, but we were very close in placing him over Merlin Olsen. This could likely change in 12 months.

Wide Receiver, Cooper Kupp, who was the Super Bowl MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in 2021, advanced six rungs to #31.

The only new entry is Jalen Ramsey, the Cornerback who is now with the Miami Dolphins. He enters at #49.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

When people talk about how the Rams won Super Bowl LVI, the Matthew Stafford trade usually gets the headlines. Fair enough. But the move that actually set everything in motion came a couple of years earlier, when they went out and got Jalen Ramsey in the middle of the 2019 season.

Ramsey had already established himself as one of the best young corners in the league after the Jaguars took him fifth overall in 2016. He made the Pro Bowl in 2017 and 2018 and looked like a franchise cornerstone. Then everything unraveled. After a heated sideline blowup with coach Doug Marrone that nearly turned physical, Ramsey demanded out. A few weeks later, the Jaguars shipped him to Los Angeles for two first-round picks and a fourth. He stepped right in, finished the year strong, and earned another Pro Bowl nod.

Over the next two seasons, he was as good as any cornerback in football. He earned back-to-back first-team All-Pro honors, and he was a central piece of the defense that finally got over the hump in Super Bowl LVI. At his peak, he was dangerous because of a rare combination of size, speed, and physicality with elite man-coverage instincts—he could erase a No. 1 receiver while still being a sure tackler who could slide inside or stay outside depending on the matchup. His peers noticed; they ranked him No. 9 on the NFL Top 100 heading into 2022. The Rams fell off hard that year, but Ramsey stayed excellent and made his sixth straight Pro Bowl.

After the season, Los Angeles moved him to the Miami Dolphins for a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long. It was a short stay, but it was one of the best concentrated runs any defensive back has had in Rams history.

While wearing the horns, Ramsey had 10 interceptions with 242 tackles.

If you are a Rams fan, you will know they have a decorated history, with the team producing some of the best players the NFL has ever seen. The Rams have won one Super Bowl and two NFL Championships since the franchise joined the NFL in 1973. And throughout history, the Rams have competed in four Super Bowls and, most recently, the Super Bowl LIII.

Many great players have donned the horns over the years. And the Rams have sent many players to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So far, the franchise has boosted 21 Hall of Famers, and 19 are players. And with the anticipation of Iowa sports betting promo codes lingering in the air, let’s relish in the nostalgia as we explore the top 10 Rams players of all time.

1.    Aaron Donald - 2014

Aaron Donald is a defensive player for the Rams drafted in 2014. And during his tenure, the Pittsburgh alum took the league by storm, becoming a threat to any quarterback. His quickness, capacity to read the offense and strength make Aaron a freak athlete.

In 9 seasons playing as a pro, Aaron was selected seven times to the First-Team All-Pro and eight times to the Pro Bowl. He was also a three times NFL Defensive Player of the Year and instrumental to the Rams Super Bowl LVI championship.

2.   Marshall Faulk - 1998

Marshall Faulk is one of the greatest running backs in the Ram's history. The San Diego State alum drafted to the Rams in 1998 is the only running back to win the NFL MVP in Rams history.

His impact on the team was immediate, as he won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award in his first three seasons. Marshall's third season as a member of the Rams was his best, as he played a crucial role in the franchise's first Super Bowl title.

3.   Isaac Bruce - 1994

Isaac Bruce is one of the top offensive players in the history of the Rams. Drafted in 1994, Marshall broke many records from 1999 to the 2001 seasons. Notably, he was instrumental in Ram's victory in the XXXIV Super Bowl Championship.

Also, in 14 seasons between the Los Angeles Rams and St. Louis, Isaac picked up over 14,000 total yards, making him a Pro Bowler roster four times. He is also in the top five for receiving yards in NFL history.

4.  Kurt Warner - 1994

Kurt Warner is often regarded as among the best-undrafted players in NFL history. He was the quarterback of The Greatest Show on Turf, where he contributed to the win in the XXXIV Super Bowl and MVP award. Kurt played at Northern Iowa for four years before going undrafted in 1994.

After this, he spent three years in the Indoor Football League and one year in NFL Europe with a Rams future contract. And in 1999, Kurt earned his chance with the Rams, taking the league by winning the NFL MVP award.

Also, he led the league in passing touchdowns, making it to the First-Team All-Pro in his first full season. 2000 after winning the Super Bowl, Kurt won another MVP award and was again selected to the First-Team All-Pro.

5.   Eric Dickerson - 1983

Eric Dickerson is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. Eric was drafted second overall in 1983, becoming a nightmare for any defense. Following his draft, he won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 1986.

He played five out of his twelve seasons as a pro with the Rams. Eric has also established the record for most rushing yards in the rookie season. Eric has also been awarded the First-Team All-Pro award five times, the NFL rushing leader four times, Pro Bowler six times, and an NFL 100^th Anniversary team member.

Conclusion

The Los Angeles Rams history is a collection of extraordinary players that have etched their names in football history. Each player on this list has bought their unique playing skills and contribution to the table that has helped shape the identity of the Rams. And beyond the accolades and statistics, the Rams icons have become a symbol of perseverance and inspiration.

Andrew Whitworth played his college ball at LSU and was taken by the Cincinnati Bengals in the Second Round of the 2006 Draft.  Although he became a starter as a rookie, Whitworth didn’t break out until his 30s, earning his first Pro Bowl at 31 in 2012.  Earning a First Team All-Pro in 2015 and a second Pro Bowl, Whitworth secured a third in 2016, his last with the Bengals.

Whitworth signed with the Rams in 2017, and in his first year in L.A., he was again a First Team All-Pro, and captured his fourth and final trip to the Pro Bowl.  Staying with the Rams until his retirement, Whitworth ended his career perfectly, winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year the day before he anchored the line that helped bring the Rams the Super Bowl.

Whitworth left the game with 239 Games Played, and his 142 in Approximate Value was then 88^th all-time.

With his play in the last half of his career, Whitworth carved out a case for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Last year, the Rams won it all, their second Super Bowl, and their first since they relocated to Los Angeles.  The loaded team gave us two new entries, and we thought we might have seen a new number one, but we will explain that further as there are no changes in the top five.

As always, we present our top five, though there were no changes in this elite group:

1. Merlin Olsen

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

You can find the entire list here.

Aaron Donald, who we wondered if we jumped it too fast by rocketing him to #2, was seriously considered to supplant Olsen on the top spot.  Anther Pro Bowl year likely will put him there.

Wide Receiver, Cooper Kupp, who won the Receiver’s Triple Crown, the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl MVP and the Offensive Player of the Year Award in 2021, debuts at #49.

Recently retired Offensive Lineman, and last year’s Walter Payton Man of the Year, Andrew Whitworth, appears at #50.  

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Few players had a better second half of their NFL career than Andrew Whitworth.

Whitworth began his pro career in 2006 with the Bengals, but he didn't earn his first Pro Bowl until 2012, when he was already past 30. After two more Pro Bowls with Cincinnati (2015 and 2016), he signed with the Rams in 2017 and added his fourth.

In March 2017, the Rams signed the 35-year-old left tackle to a three-year, $36 million deal shortly after hiring Sean McVay. Whitworth immediately became the cornerstone of a rebuilt offensive line and the veteran voice in a young locker room. In his first season, he earned first-team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl selection while helping protect Jared Goff and open lanes for Todd Gurley. The next year the Rams reached Super Bowl LIII; they lost to the Patriots, but Whitworth’s leadership remained a constant. He re-signed and kept starting into his late 30s, remaining one of the league’s better tackles. In 2020, he suffered a season-ending knee injury but returned for the playoffs. At 40, he came back for one more year, started at left tackle in the modern era longer than anyone else, and protected Matthew Stafford’s blind side through the postseason.

On the night before Super Bowl LVI, he was named the Walter Payton Man of the Year. The next day he helped the Rams beat his former team, the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20 for the championship. A month later, on March 15, 2022, he announced his retirement. The Rams got the late-career peak, the leadership that helped establish a culture, two Super Bowl appearances, and a championship. What a way to call it a career!

Cooper Kupp showed up as a third-round pick out of Eastern Washington in 2017, a school that doesn’t exactly flood the league with stars. The Rams still liked what they saw. He made the All-Rookie team with a solid 869 yards, then got hurt and missed half of 2018. By 2019, he was healthy again and topped 1,100 yards for the first time. 2020 dipped a little, but he was already a reliable piece of the offense—precise routes, soft hands, and the kind of receiver who kept drives alive even when the numbers weren’t flashy.

Everything changed when Matthew Stafford arrived in 2021. Kupp became the clear favorite target overnight. He won the receiving Triple Crown with 145 catches, 1,947 yards, and 16 touchdowns, numbers that still look absurd. First-Team All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year followed. In the playoffs, he was even better, hauling in 33 passes for 478 yards. In Super Bowl LVI, he caught the game-winning touchdown from Stafford and walked off with the Super Bowl MVP. For one season he was, without much argument, the best wide receiver in the league.

Then the drop-off hit. 2022 was a mess for everyone in Los Angeles. The Rams finished with a losing record, and Kupp spent half the year on the injured list. When he returned in 2023, rookie Puka Nacua had already become the primary option. Kupp was still productive in stretches, but the role had shifted. 2024 brought another 700-yard season, useful but no longer dominant. The chemistry with Stafford was still there on certain throws, yet the volume and the big plays belonged to someone else.

The Rams released him in the 2025 offseason after eight years. With Los Angeles, he finished with 7,776 receiving yards and 57 touchdowns. The peak was one of the great individual seasons by a receiver in recent memory. The years around it were more ordinary, marked by injuries and a changing offense. What remains is the memory of a precise, dependable pass catcher who had one perfect year when everything lined up and helped the Rams win a Super Bowl.

On his Instagram, Los Angeles Rams’ Offensive Tackle, Andrew Whitworth, announced his retirement from football.

The 40-year-old went out on top, anchoring the Rams to their first Super Bowl win in Los Angeles, in a year where he also won the coveted Walter Payton Man of the Year.

Whitworth played his college ball at LSU, and was taken by the Cincinnati Bengals in the Second Round of the 2006 Draft.  Although he became a starter as a rookie, Whitworth didn’t break out until his 30s, earning his first Pro Bowl at 31 in 2012.  Earning a First Team All-Pro in 2015, and a second Pro Bowl, Whitworth secured a third in 2016, his last with the Bengals.

Whitworth signed with the Rams in 2017, and in his first year in L.A., he was again a First Team All-Pro, and captured his fourth and final trip to the Pro Bowl.  With his retirement, Whitworth leaves the game with 239 Games Played, and his 142 in Approximate Value is currently 88^th all-time.

With his play in the last half of his career, Whitworth carved out a case for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which he is eligible for 2027.

We here at Notinhallofame.com would like to wish Andrew Whitworth the best in his post-playing career.

The Super Bowl LVI participants are set, and there are not too many who would have bet on the Cincinnati Bengals to face the Los Angeles Rams.  The Rams enter as a favorite, but that is perfectly fine for Cincinnati, who have overcome the odds to get to the big dance.

If you’re planning to place a bet on the Super Bowl, here is a guide with the 3 Easiest Super Bowl 56 bets anyone can make, that was created by the guys at Sports Betting Dime.

The Rams will have the luxury of playing in their home, SoFi Stadium, but this has been a post-season where the road teams have been dominant.  Los Angeles went all in at the start of the season, trading their Quarterback, Jared Goff, and a slew of First Round Picks to Detroit for Matthew Stafford.  The move was every bit the upgrade they hoped for, and it helped propel Wide Receiver, Cooper Kupp, to new single-season receiving records and a possible MVP.

Defensively, the Rams are led by Aaron Donald, the three-time Defensive MVP and future first ballot Hall of Famer.  It is a complete team coached by Sean McVay, who at 36 years of age, will appear in his second Super Bowl, a first for any Coach under 40. 

The Bengals have never won the Super Bowl, and are appearing in their third, the last coming 23 years ago in a loss to San Francisco.  Cincinnati first beat Las Vegas at home, and then upset the top seed Tennessee Titans and defending AFC Champion, Kansas City on the road to get here.

Led by Quarterback, Joe Burrow, the Bengals are riding on momentum and emotion, and while Burrow is only in his second season, he already has a pedigree of a champion.  Along with his teammate and current start Wide Receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, the duo won the National Championship at LSU two years ago, and the image of Burrow smoking a cigar after the victory is an iconic moment that Bengals fans hope to see repeated.

Both teams are capable of comebacks, as shown in each Conference Championship Games, so don’t let any halftime score make you think the game is over.

This is a fresh Super Bowl match, and we can’t wait to see how this will play out.

Super Bowl LVI will be on Sunday, February 13 at 6:30 p.m. EST.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Rams of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

This our first revision in two years, and there is only one change, but it has direct impact in our top five.

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

Donald moved up from #23 to #2, and is the reigning and three-time Defensive Player of the Year.  It would not surprise us if he becomes the greatest Ram of all-time.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

2025 Pre-Season Rank #9, 2024 Pre-Season Rank #17, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #34, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #53, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #99, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #144.  Peak Period: 2021-25

It feels like nobody deserves a change of scenery more than Myles Garrett.

After nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns, where he won two Defensive Player of the Year Awards, earned five First Team All-Pros, seven Pro Bowls, recorded 125 Sacks and 149 Tackles for Loss, Garrett arrives in Los Angeles, joining the already loaded Rams, where he has his first legitimate chance for a Super Bowl.

Over the past four seasons, Garrett’s numbers have been staggering.  In addition to his two DPOYs, he was fifth in 2022,  third in 2024, and has compiled 67 Sacks and 90 Tackles for Loss…and now he has Aaron Donald on the same line!  Although he is now 30, there is no reason to think that he can not extend his prime in Los Angeles.

Regardless of what happens in SoFi, no player who won two Defensive Player of the Year Awards has failed to make it to Canton.
