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.

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.

When the St. Louis Rams selected Ohio State offensive tackle Orlando Pace with the first overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, they weren't just picking a blue-chip prospect—they were laying the bedrock foundation for one of the most explosive offenses in pro football history. A two-time Outland Trophy winner and Lombardi Award recipient with the Buckeyes, Pace famously popularized the term "pancake block," flattening collegiate defenders with a combination of raw power, pristine footwork, and effortless lateral agility.

Stepping directly into the starting lineup at left tackle, Pace wasted no time proving that his rare athletic traits translated seamlessly to the professional level. While every great team boasts headline skill players, "The Greatest Show on Turf" required an unyielding anchor on the blind side to operate its intricate, deep-developing passing concepts. Pace provided exactly that, giving head coach Dick Vermeil and offensive coordinator Mike Martz the luxury of keeping extra receivers in the route progression without needing tight end or running back chips on his edge.

The breakout moment for both Pace and the franchise arrived during the magical 1999 season. Protecting unexpected breakout quarterback Kurt Warner, Pace put together a masterclass campaign, securing his first career Pro Bowl selection and First-Team AP All-Pro honors. His impenetrable pass protection allowed Warner to toss 41 touchdown passes and throw for 4,353 yards, culminating in a thrilling 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV to bring the Lombardi Trophy to St. Louis.

Pace elevated his game even further in 2000, delivering what was arguably the finest single-season performance by an offensive lineman of his era. Anchoring a unit that produced a staggering 7,075 total yards of offense, Pace posted a career-high 22 Approximate Value score from Pro Football Reference. His dominance continued into 2001, earning another First-Team AP All-Pro nod while guiding the Rams back to Super Bowl XXXVI and cementing his reputation as the NFL’s premier left tackle.

For seven consecutive seasons spanning from 1999 through 2005, Pace was an automatic Pro Bowl selection and the undisputed gold standard at his position. While teammates like Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt captured the national spotlight and posted dominant stat lines, Pace’s consistent, selfless effort in the trenches created the time and space for those weapons to flourish week after week.

Even as the Rams transitioned away from their championship core later in the decade, Pace remained the steadying heartbeat of the roster. Over his 12 seasons in St. Louis, he anchored lines for multiple coaching staffs, neutralizing the league's top pass rushers with startling consistency. Across 158 games in blue and gold, he surrendered remarkably few sacks, serving as a trusted leader and veteran mentor in the locker room.

After a brief final season with the Chicago Bears in 2009, Pace retired as one of football’s most decorated linemen. In 2016, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton as a first-ballot honoree, capping a dominant career protecting the game's most explosive offense.
