Both Johnny Hekker and Robert Quinn got voted in as first team all-pro selections. Hekker set an NFL record for best average net yards with 44.2 while Robert Quinn recorded a franchise record and NFC best 19 sacks. Quinn was also the highest rated 4-3 defensive end of pro football focus.

The days of 2-14 and 1-15 and having bad team after bad team are over Rams fans. The St. Louis Rams, for the first time in almost a decade, are respectable.
