The Los Angeles Rams just signed Kamren Curl this offseason, but might already need to begin planning for life after the veteran safety.
Curl signed what is essentially a two-year “prove it” deal with the Rams, for $9 million, which includes $6 million fully guaranteed.
Depending on how the 2024 season plays out, safety could be a position to watch for the Rams early on in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Pro Football Focus projects the Rams will select Penn State safety Kevin Winston Jr., in the outlet’s way too early 2025 mock draft.
“The Rams selected Kamren Kinchens in the third round,” Max Chadwick writes for PFF. “But they could still stand to add another safety, with Kamren Curl on just a two-year contract. Winston is as sure of a tackler as they come, as his 2% missed tackle rate ranked second among all college football safeties. He also was the only FBS safety with 85.0-plus grades in coverage and run defense.”
Last season, Winston produced 60 total tackles with one interception, five pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries.
Winston is an ascending talent and should take on an even more significant role in the Nittany Lions’ defense this fall.
