Since signing with the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, Robert Woods has 3,134 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 232 receptions. Throw in 38 carries for 284 yards and he’s the absolute model of consistency and production.
In 2019, Woods had six games for the Rams where he was targeted over 11 times and gained 50 or more yards in 9 of the 15 games he played in.
Woods is a bit of a jack of all trades but master of none. He has reliable hands, good speed, can snap off routes, is a willing blocker, and uses good route technique. He doesn’t dominate in any one category though and because of this he can sometimes struggle to create separation and can get a little too caught up in route stems and moves when they aren’t applicable.
Be that as it may, the numbers don’t lie and Rams head coach Sean McVay makes a very conscious effort to involve Woods in every game. They love running him on screens and he shows excellent vision and patience after the catch and can weave through blocks and defenders.
With that, let’s take a look at how Robert Woods has emerged as such an important talent for the Rams’ offense.
