With Aaron Donald back, Rams become one of the strongest Super Bowl favorites in recent years
The Rams have added multiple difference makers on defense this offseason.
The Los Angeles Rams are the strongest team in the NFL heading into the 2021 Super Bowl season, making them the clear favorite to win. After a strong finishing season last year, they have added some of the league's top talent to strengthen their roster. Defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who had retired after two seasons, has returned to play.
This raises the question of whether there have ever been two players more dominant on a defensive line as Myles Garrett and Donald. The return of quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was named NFL MVP this season, and the continuing duo of top receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, further bolster the team's chances. The Rams also boast a strong defense led by two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald and three-time Defensive Player of the Year Garrett.
Their offensive line also shows great depth. However, the team does face some challenges such as their special teams and offensive line concerns, as well as the potential impact of injuries to Stafford. Despite these concerns, the Rams appear to be the most formidable team in the NFL, with no other team having a realistic shot at challenging their dominance.
