The Los Angeles Rams appear to have most of their 53-man roster taking shape ahead of training camp, but the final spots are still open for competition. That creates an opportunity for depth players and undrafted free agents to stand out, especially in roles that go beyond their primary position.

Dean Connors is one of the names drawing attention as a potential under-the-radar candidate. The undrafted rookie running back may face a crowded backfield, but the Rams' RB3 job does not look fully locked down, leaving room for a strong summer push.

Special teams could be the clearest route for Connors to stick on the roster. For fringe players, value in coverage units and other special teams assignments often becomes the difference between earning a roster place and being left off the final cut.

As camp approaches, the focus will be on whether Connors can carve out a role that makes him difficult to ignore. If he proves useful on special teams while also showing enough in the backfield, he could give the Rams another legitimate option in their running back depth chart.
