If there’s one thing about the Rams that became abundantly clear this offseason, it’s that they’re going to be a very young team in 2023. They drafted 14 players in April and signed another 20-plus as undrafted rookies, so nearly half of their roster was made up of first-year players throughout the summer.
Obviously, not all of those rookies made the 53-man roster but the 14 draft picks did and one undrafted rookie, Alex Ward, also made the team, so 15 of their 53 players are rookies.

According to Spotrac, the Rams’ average player age is 25.49 years, which is younger than every team except the Packers (25.3). The Saints have the oldest team at 27.17 years, just to show how they compare to the Rams.
This could change as the Rams churn their roster and make moves in the next week or so, but no matter what Los Angeles does, this is going to one of the youngest teams in football.
That was on display during the preseason when most of the players on the field were rookies and second-year guys. It’ll help to have Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein leading the team, but Sean McVay has his work cut out for him.
