NFL Draft: Rams Select LaDainian Tomlinson's Nephew with Pick No. 182
The Los Angeles Rams have been one of the busiest teams on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft.
After finishing the fifth round with three of the last four picks, the Rams didn't have much time to breathe before taking TCU defensive back Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson with the fifth pick in the sixth round, No. 182 overall.
"Hodges-Tomlinson is an undersized defensive back who has shown flashes of becoming a good slot defender at the next level, but the concerns with size and durability will loom over him in the pre-draft process," SI Draft Bible writes.
Tomlinson is the nephew of NFL Hall-of-Fame runningback LaDainian Tomlinson, who had an excellent career with the San Diego Chargers and New York Jets.
With the addition of Tomlinson, he joins TCU offensive lineman Steve Avila, Tennessee defensive end Byron Young, Wake Forest pass rusher Kobie Turner, two-time National Champion quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, Appalachian State linebacker Nick Hampton, Georgia offensive tackle Warren McClendon, Clemson tight end Davis Allen and BYU wide receiver Puka Nacua as part of the Rams' newest draft class.
The Rams aren't done and will pick at No. 189, seven spots from this pick, in the sixth round.
