Rams undrafted free agent Dean Connors aims for roster spot via special teams

The Los Angeles Rams are welcoming undrafted free agent running back Dean Connors into training camp, where he seeks a spot on the 53-man roster. Connors had a productive college career, totaling more than 3,800 yards at Rice and Houston. With the RB3 position potentially open, he will focus on excelling in special teams to secure his place behind established players Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Competing with fourth-round rookie Jarquez Hunter and veteran Ronnie Rivers, Connors has an opportunity to claim the role if he outperforms them in special teams this preseason.
