Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Rams.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Rams made it back to the playoffs but were bounced in the opening round by the Detroit Lions.  There were no new entrants in the Top 50, but there were two elevations, including a brand new number one.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a major change:

1. Aaron Donald
2. Merlin Olsen
3. Deacon Jones
4. Jack Youngblood
5. Orlando Pace

You can find the entire list here.

Three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald overtook fellow Defensive Tackle Merlin Olsen to take over the top spot.  Donald retired after the 2023 Season.

The only other change was Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp, who advanced two spots to #31.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Rams.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Two years ago, the Rams won it all, but last year they were unable to make it to a winning record. They still had one elevation and one new entrant based on last season.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

1. Merlin Olsen

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

You can find the entire list here.

Aaron Donald, who came last year at #2 remains there, but we were very close in placing him over Merlin Olsen. This could likely change in 12 months.

Wide Receiver, Cooper Kupp, who was the Super Bowl MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in 2021, advanced six rungs to #31.

The only new entry is Jalen Ramsey, the Cornerback who is now with the Miami Dolphins. He enters at #49.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Rams won it all, their second Super Bowl, and their first since they relocated to Los Angeles.  The loaded team gave us two new entries, and we thought we might have seen a new number one, but we will explain that further as there are no changes in the top five.

As always, we present our top five, though there were no changes in this elite group:

1. Merlin Olsen

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

You can find the entire list here.

Aaron Donald, who we wondered if we jumped it too fast by rocketing him to #2, was seriously considered to supplant Olsen on the top spot.  Anther Pro Bowl year likely will put him there.

Wide Receiver, Cooper Kupp, who won the Receiver’s Triple Crown, the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl MVP and the Offensive Player of the Year Award in 2021, debuts at #49.

Recently retired Offensive Lineman, and last year’s Walter Payton Man of the Year, Andrew Whitworth, appears at #50.

This our first revision in two years, and there is only one change, but it has direct impact in our top five.

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

Donald moved up from #23 to #2, and is the reigning and three-time Defensive Player of the Year.  It would not surprise us if he becomes the greatest Ram of all-time.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

2. Merlin Olsen

With the vast amount of players who suited up for the Rams (regardless of the city) that it would be difficult to narrow it down to one player, and it certainly was.  There were other Pro Football Hall of Famer with whom we easily could have slid into the top spot, but we elected to go with Merlin Olsen, the ultimate coach's player who led by example and who went down in history as one of the most outstanding Defensive Tackles the game has ever seen.  (This was written before Aaron Donald took over that spot)
