Despite a high-powered offense led by Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams, the Rams fell short of their ultimate goal, highlighting a need to strengthen the special teams phase and improve consistency and field-position.
Ventrone joins Los Angeles after three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, where he served as assistant coach and special teams coordinator. He will replace Chase Blackburn, who was fired in December.
Reaction to the hire among fans was mixed, with some skepticism on social media given the Browns’ special teams performance this season, which finished in the bottom half of rankings.
A former defensive back, Ventrone played in the NFL from 2007 to 2014 with the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, and San Francisco 49ers.
