Rams' Chris Shula names 2nd-year DT who's been a 'pleasant surprise'
Ty Hamilton has had an outstanding offseason, catching the eye of Chris Shula and the Rams' coaching staff.
In the midst of the Los Angeles Rams' significant defensive acquisitions, including Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, defensive coordinator Chris Shula highlighted a promising second-year nose tackle by the name of Ty Hamilton. Hamilton's unexpected performance this offseason led to his inclusion on the Rams' roster, following a rough rookie season.
Shula remarked, "He did an awesome job where in camp, it was like Giff (Smith), his position coach, really challenged him to play physical, play fast, play tough." Hamilton's growth and improvement were evident in his 2025 season, where he appeared in 14 games, contributed 138 snaps and 11 total tackles, and played in the Rams' three playoff games.
