The Rams hope Stanford’s Joshua Karty, one of their four 6th-round selections, helps solve their kicking woes
Stanford’s Joshua Karty kicks a field goal during the second half against Hawai’i on Sept. 1, 2023, at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu, Hawaii. HERMOSA BEACH — The Rams looked to address their long-term situation at kicker on Saturday, picking Stanford’s Joshua Karty with the 209th overall pick in the sixth round.
Karty said he identified the Rams early on in the draft process as a team he would like to join, preferring a West Coast team with a need at kicker. And he said the Rams showed clear interest in him, too, with special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn and assistant Chili Davis coming to his pro day at Stanford and going to breakfast with Karty.
“I was hoping that if another kicker went first, it wasn’t going to be the Rams, and boy I’m glad the Rams had the next pick,” Karty said. “I’m super excited.” Davis, 23, played five seasons at Clemson, earning three straight All-ACC first-team honors to close his career. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound tackle had two 5.5-sack seasons during his career, but as a senior made 34 tackles and half a sack while starting 13 games.Rams select Michigan RB Blake Corum in 3rd round of NFL draft
