Neal Johnson
A wild card in the Rams TE room, 2024 UDFA rookie Neal Johnson is the most proven receiver of the bottom crowd of guys. He didn't catch the ball often for Louisiana in their run-heavy offense, but he was a reliable weapon whose production improved year after year with the Ragin Cajuns. His film showed a solid ability to play up the seam, work open, and create some plays after the catch. Johnson finished as an All-Sun Belt Third-Team tight end in 2023 after posting five touchdowns on the season.
He isn't quite as gifted a blocker as others on this list, but he has the size for it at 6'3, 245 pounds. Johnson's poor testing numbers really dipped his stock, but we know how the Rams feel about testing numbers vs. football speed. He'll have an upward climb to make the team, but I'm intrigued by him as a receiving TE3.
