Once labeled a draft bust after a tumultuous stint with the Washington Commanders, Forbes is now turning heads in Los Angeles, showing flashes of the elite potential that made him a first-round pick in 2023. Forbes’ journey from adversity to opportunity is becoming one of the league’s most compelling stories. He entered the league at 6 feet and ¾ inches, 166 pounds, making him the lightest cornerback drafted since 1999 (at least). He’s now listed at 180 pounds, having gained significant muscle mass since the Rams’ season ended. He credits the Rams’ staff for helping him bulk up to a size he’s more comfortable playing at and restoring some of his confidence.

Well, plenty of players may look terrific during OTAs and even training camp, still this guy clearly does have an opportunity to start at CB for the Rams, given the current uncertainty at that position... :? ;) :geek:
RAM SEASON!!

Totally agree. There's no risk and a huge upside if he can play to his potential. Reminds me of Baker Mayfield getting his sh** together with us. Go Rams!

A former first round pick. Still young. No risk to the team. Seems to appreciate the second chance he's getting. If you're picked in the middle of the first round you have talent. Hopefully the Rams can bring it out of him and we got a quality player at a needed position.
