The Los Angeles Rams can make a case for having the best position group in several areas of the field. However, there's one spot the Rams proved in 2025 that they have the clearest advantage in heading into the 2026 season.
L.A. used tight ends better than any other team this past season, and that entire positional group is ahead of the rest of the league, according to NFL.com's Bucky Brooks.
The depth at tight end is what put the Rams over the top. The Rams' four tight ends (Colby Parkinson, Terrence Ferguson, Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen) combined to catch 17 of Matthew Stafford's NFL-leading 46 touchdowns this past season. Parkinson led the group with eight (a franchise record for the position and the third-most on the team in 2025), while the others added three apiece.
Additionally, the quartet caught a combined 103 receptions and 1,128 yards. That's basically the equivalent of a third superstar receiver split between four players that are all at least 6-foot-5 and more than 220 pounds.
The Rams doubled down on the position, too, by taking Ohio State's Max Klare in the second round to give the team five tight ends that could potentially start on any given player for any given team in the league.
While the Rams don't have a stud player at the position like George Kittle, Trey McBride, Brock Bowers or Travis Kelce, the combination of five quality players gives the offense so much flexibility and depth. And, as has been the case with a McVay-led team in the past, the Rams are ahead of the curve in how they utilize the position.
