42. Jim Everett

In retrospect, Jim Everett got a bad rap.  He feuded with Jim Rome (who labeled him "Chris" in reference to his play comparing him to the female player, Chris Evert), the Rams gave up a lot for his rights, and he had an overall losing record.

41. Jack Pardee

Jack Pardee was the 14th overall pick in 1957, and the Texas A&M Aggie would be a fixture at Linebacker for the Rams for 13 years.  Pardee played 169 for Los Angeles, starting 150 of them.  In 1963 he would be named a First Team All-Pro as well as being named to the Pro Bowl.  He managed to secure 17 Interceptions for the Rams, a good number for a Linebacker.

40. Dick Bass

Dick Bass played all 11 of his National Football League Games with the Los Angeles Rams where the Fullback would be named to three Pro Bowls (1962, 1963 & 1966).  Bass had a pair of 1,000 Rushing Yard Seasons in the '60s with a total of 5,417 and 34 Touchdowns.  This total also had another 1,841 Receiving Yards and 7 TDs.  Bass would finish third in Rushing Yards twice.
The argument can be made (and we are making it) that the most successful Place Kicker in the history of the Rams is Jeff Wilkins, who was a member of their Super Bowl XXXIV winning team.  He played 11 seasons with the Rams where he is the team’s all-time leader in Points Scored (1,223) and was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2003 where he finished first in the NFL in Points and Field Goals.  He would also finish first in Field Goals in 2006.
