Head Coach: Sean McVay

Sean McVay became the youngest head coach in modern NFL history when he was hired by the LA Rams in the 2017 offseason. It was a gamble that undoubtedly paid off; in his first season, McVay was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year after the Rams went from mediocrity under Fisher to the playoffs whilst playing scintillating offensive football. In 2018 - his second season in charge - McVay became the youngest head coach to lead his team in the Super Bowl. The recent influx of young coaches into the NFL is because of McVay’s success with the Rams - he won’t be satisfied until LA wins a ring, and 2019 could be their year.

Offensive Player to Watch: Todd Gurley (or Cooper Kupp)

This was an interesting choice to make. On the one hand, Todd Gurley is a monster for the LA Rams. The ex-Georgia running back has rushed for 2,556 yards and 30 touchdowns in the last two years, whilst also being a threat in the air. The dynamic Gurley has led the league in rushing touchdowns for the past two seasons, named First-team All-Pro in both, and was even the 2017 NFL Offensive Player of the Year. On the other hand however, he is suffering from a chronic knee injury that will reportedly lead to less snaps and action this year. If this is the case - and, personally, I think it’s being overblown - Gurley will not be the one to watch on the Rams offense. That title will then go to the returning Cooper Kupp. Kupp tore his ACL in week ten of 2018 right when the wide receiver was coming into his own as a playmaker for Jared Goff - 566 yards and six touchdowns throughout the season. It will be exciting to see Kupp return in 2019.

Defensive Player to Watch: Aaron Donald
