Rams Cut Rookie Linebacker Chris Paul Jr.

Chris Paul Jr., drafted 172nd overall by the Rams after they traded up, was initially viewed as a potential steal. However, he struggled to secure a significant role on defense during the summer. A calf injury at the beginning of training camp hindered his progress, although he did participate in all three preseason games. His extensive playing time in the fourth quarter of the final preseason game against the Browns raised concerns, suggesting he hadn't cemented his place on the roster.

Paul now enters the waiver wire, where other teams can claim him. If he clears waivers, the Rams could sign him to their practice squad. In an exclusive interview, Paul discussed his goals, faith, and leadership aspirations. He emphasized the importance of building trust within the locker room and learning from veteran players. He also highlighted his focus on being a complete linebacker through speed, instincts and film study. He is excited to see himself in Madden NFL and wants to be known as a man of faith and a leader.

The Rams have not publicly stated the exact reason, but it is likely due to performance during training camp and preseason, coupled with a calf injury.

Paul wants to make an impact on defense and special teams, demonstrating his ability to keep up and be a leader.

His nickname is "Pooh," which he has had since he was young.
