Rams' Byron Young Drawing Inspiration From New Teammate Myles Garrett

The Los Angeles Rams linebacker Byron Young is looking to his new teammate Myles Garrett for inspiration as he aims to reach All-Pro status in his final season of his four-year, $5.56 million rookie contract. Young, who had a Pro Bowl season in 2025, wants to be the player the team relies on in crunch-time situations. He spoke to reporters about Garrett's impact on his game, saying the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year teaches him to believe he can make a sack regardless of the pressure he faces.

Young emphasized the importance of mental toughness, noting that Garrett's unyielding mindset often leads to success. With Young and Garrett expected to be key contributors to the Rams' defense as they chase a Super Bowl title at SoFi Stadium in February, the linebacker is determined to be that crucial player when the team needs it most.
