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.

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

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.

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

2023 Pre-Season Rank #62, 2022 Pre-Season Rank: #67. Peak Period: 2019-23

Somebody would have the highest debut in 2022, pre-season rank, and better than that year’s offensive player of the year and Super Bowl MVP, Cooper Kupp, who shattered all of his personal bests.  Since then, Kupp has missed some games due to injury and is back to his pre-OPOY production.  Concurrently, Puca Nacua has emerged as the Rams WR1, and for Kupp to make a severe Hall run, he will need more than one phenomenal campaign and many good ones.

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

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.  

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

As of this writing Cooper Kupp is the primary offensive weapon for the Los Angeles Rams, and among the top flight in NFL Wide Receivers.

The Rams had high hopes for Kupp, who was a Third Round Selection from Eastern Washington, but this is not an institution that is known for producing stars.  Kupp, was an All-Rookie, accruing a respectable 869 Yards, and had he not been injured the year after for half of the season, he would have likely had his first, 1000 Yard year as a sophomore, though he secured that in his third year (1,161 Yards).  After dipping below to 974 Yards in 2020, the Rams underwent a change in Quarterback, with Jared Goff exiting for Matthew Stafford, and the ascendence to the elite for Kupp began.

Kupp instantly became Stafford’s favorite target, and he easily won the Receiving Triple Crown (145 Receptions, 1,947 Receiving Yards and 16 Receiving Touchdowns).  Named a First Team All-Pro, Kupp won the AP Offensive Player of the Year.  Even more electric in the playoffs, Kupp set records in a single post-season with 33 Receptions with his 478 Yards second only behind Larry Fitzgerald.  Kupp, who caught the game-winning Touchdown in Super Bowl LVI, was named the Super Bowl MVP, capping one of the most outstanding seasons ever by a Wide Receiever.

2022 was a disappointment for both the Rams and Kupp, as they had a losing record and Kupp missed half of the year on the injured list, and in 2023, Kupp was supplanted by rookie Puka Nacua as Los Angeles WR1, but he is still votal moving forward to the Rams offense.
