gold star for USAHOF
Joe Scibelli is one of only five players in Rams history to play at least 200 Games for the Rams; 202 to be specific.  Scibelli played most have his games at the Right Guard position where he provided long term stability to the Rams O-Line for over a decade.  Scibelli was a Pro Bowl in 1968 and while he only achieved that accolade once his longevity can’t be ignored, which earned him his spot here.

A Second Round Pick from Wisconsin-La Crosse, Tom Newberry was a member of the 1986 NFL All-Rookie Team at Left Guard.  He would be a Second Team All-Pro in '87 and in the two seasons that followed he was a First Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl Selection.  He would start 128 of his 131 Games as a Ram.

30. Rich Saul

A late round draft pick in 1970, Rich Saul was a reserve Offensive Lineman for the Rams for the four years of his career before he would become their starting Center in 1975.  The season after, Saul went on a six-season streak (1976-81) where he was chosen for the Pro Bowl and as the steady presence on the O-Line, Saul would assist Los Angeles in making Super Bowl XIV.  He would be named a Second Team All-Pro in 1980.
Drafted 11th Overall from the University of Miami (FL) Dennis Harrah came off the bench as a rookie but would win the starting Right Guard job for the 1976 season, and he would help the Rams win the NFC West six times.  Six was also the number of times that he was named to the Pro Bowl with a pair of three-year streaks (1978-1980) and (1985-87).  He would notably be named a First Team All-Pro in 1986.

A Safety who spent his 11-year entire career with the Los Angeles Rams, Nolan Cromwell came off the bench for the first two years but would become a starter in his third season as the teams’ starting Free Safety.  Cromwell would emerge as a high tier Safety being named a First Team All-Pro three straight seasons (1980-82) with the season after marking his fourth straight Pro Bowl.  He would pick off Quarterbacks 37 times in his time in the National Football League.

Charlie Cowan had a long career in the National Football League which went 206 Games deep, all with the Los Angeles Rams.  Cowan shifted from Left Guard to Right Tackle to Left Tackle, and regardless of where he was on the O-Line, he was a steady presence.  From 1968 to 1970 he was a Pro Bowl Selection, and he was twice a Second Team All-Pro (1968 & 1973).  He was not the best Offensive Lineman that the Rams ever had, but his long-duration earned him this substantial rank.

22. Jim Benton

One of the early stars of the Cleveland Rams was Jim Benton, the star End from the University of Arkansas who as a rookie would lead all players in Yards per Reception, though this was 1938 and he only had 418 Yards.  Still, that was the game back then, and he would be a Pro Bowler in 1940 where he had 7 Touchdown Passes, again league leading.  After a good 1940, he took a year off to coach (remember there wasn't a lot of money back then), but he returned in 1942 but due to the depletion of players due to World War II the Rams suspended operations, and he would join Chicago where he helped them win the NFL Championship.

Roman Gabriel may have been the second overall pick of the 1962 Draft, but the former member of the North Carolina State Wolfpack took a long time to officially win the starting Quarterback job for the Los Angeles Rams.  Gabriel competed with veterans Zeke Bratkowski and Bill Munson but in 1966 the new Head Coach, George Allen eliminated all controversy by naming Gabriel the number one QB. 

20. Tom Fears

Tom Fears was the first NFL player of note to be born in Mexico, and the former UCLA standout would play all nine of his NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams.  Fears was initially pegged to be a Defensive Back, but he would blossom on the offense where the End would help usher in more of a passing attack in the game.

One of the greatest athletes ever to come out of Fresno State, Henry Ellard was used as both a Wide Receiver and Punt Returner in his first few seasons in the NFL.  Ellard was still catching his fair share of passes, but he was good enough as a Punt Returner to be named a First Team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl in 1984.  Ellard would go on a tear where from 1988 to 1991 he would exceed 1,000 Receiving Yards, the first of which saw him lead the National Football League with 1,414 Yards and he was named a First Team All-Pro again.  The Wide Receiver would finish fourth and second in Receiving Yards the next two seasons and overall as a Los Angeles Ram he totaled 9,761 Yards from the air.

Eddie Meador is one of the greatest Defensive Backs in Rams history, and he would spend all of his twelve seasons there.  Meador was a real ball hawk who recorded 46 Interceptions, which is the most in Rams history.  The "Fearsome Foursome" may have gotten most of the defensive attention for the Los Angeles Rams, but Meador should not be forgotten as this is a six-time Pro Bowl and two-time First Team All-Pro Selection.

A Super Bowl Champion with the Green Bay Packers, Adam Timmerman signed with the St. Louis Rams where he helped protect the Offensive Line for the most exciting offenses of the late 1990s.  Timmerman was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2001, and he would start 125 of his 126 games as a St. Louis Ram.

42. Jim Everett

In retrospect, Jim Everett got a bad rap.  He feuded with Jim Rome (who labeled him "Chris" in reference to his play comparing him to the female player, Chris Evert), the Rams gave up a lot for his rights, and he had an overall losing record.

40. Dick Bass

Dick Bass played all 11 of his National Football League Games with the Los Angeles Rams where the Fullback would be named to three Pro Bowls (1962, 1963 & 1966).  Bass had a pair of 1,000 Rushing Yard Seasons in the '60s with a total of 5,417 and 34 Touchdowns.  This total also had another 1,841 Receiving Yards and 7 TDs.  Bass would finish third in Rushing Yards twice.

37. LeRoy Irvin

LeRoy Irvin was a third round pick from the University of Kansas and the Cornerback would be named a First Team All-Pro as a Punt Returner in his second season when he led the NFL in Punt Return Yards and Yards per Punt Return.  Irvin would later become a permanent fixture at Cornerback where he would be named a Pro Bowler in both 1985 and 1986 and would earn his second First Team All-Pro in the latter year, though this time at his natural position of Cornerback.  Irvin would pick off opposing QBs 34 times running five of them back for a Touchdown.

Dubbed “Hacksaw” because after a frustrating loss he sliced an old car in half with a hacksaw, Jack Reynolds was the 22nd overall pick in 1970 from the University of Tennessee, and he would win the starting Middle Linebacker job in 1973.  Reynolds stayed as a starter for the team throughout the decade and would be named to two Pro Bowls (1975 & 1980), and he played 145 Games for the Los Angeles.  He would later win two Super Bowls with San Francisco.
In the 1970s, Lawrence McCutcheon was the top rusher for the Los Angeles Rams, but in many ways, he was also one of the most underrated of the decade.  The third-rounder from Purdue rode the pine as a rookie, but he took over as the team's starting Running Back in his second year (1973) where he would be chosen for his first of five straight Pro Bowls, four of which would see him exceed the 1,000 Yard mark.  In those four 1,000 Yard years, he was in the top five in Rushing Yards, the top six in Yards From Scrimmage and the top nine in All-Purpose Yards meaning that he was definitely near or in the upper echelon of Running Backs in that time period.  A Second Team All-Pro in 1974 he had two 1,500 Yards From Scrimmage seasons ('74 and '76) and overall as a Ram would accumulate 6,186 Rushing Yards with 23 Touchdowns and another 1,683 Yards and 12 Touchdowns from the air.
Larry Brooks played all 131 of his Games in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams where he was the team’s starting Defensive Tackle for the majority of it.  Although Quarterback Sacks were not official statistics when he played he planted pivots on the ground many times including a 14.5 season in 1976.  Brooks was also among his team’s top tacklers.  Brooks was a First Team All-Pro Selection once in 1979, but he was often in the conversation for more.  Likely the only thing that kept Brooks from being a more prominent name was that he played alongside some colorful players on the Rams defense, but those who watched him knew how good he was.

A member of the Los Angeles Rams for eight seasons, Isiah Robertson got off to an incredible start as the 10th overall pick in 1971 would promptly win the Defensive Rookie of the Year.  Robertson, who was a Pro Bowler as a rookie, went on a spectacular run in the mid-'70s would earn Pro Bowl honors annually from 1973 to 1977 and was named an All-Pro in all of those seasons with two First Team and three Second Team accolades. 

47. Lamar Lundy

Standing at 6' 7", Lamar Lundy might have been the most imposing figure of the Rams' famed "Fearsome Foursome" and was part of a revolution of sorts that helped to glorify modern defense.  The two-sport athlete (he was also a basketball player) was the first black player to receive an athletic scholarship at the University of Purdue, and he opted for a career in Pro Football much to the delight of Los Angeles Rams fans.
