The Los Angeles Rams have made the decision to waive cornerback Derion Kendrick after three seasons with the team. Kendrick, who was a sixth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, had established himself as a promising player, starting 18 out of 32 games in his first two seasons. However, his career was hindered by a torn ACL he suffered in 2024, which significantly impacted his performance and playing time.

This move comes as the Rams reassess their roster and seek to make necessary adjustments ahead of the upcoming season. Kendrick's departure marks the end of an era for a player who was once part of a record-breaking draft class from the University of Georgia, which saw 15 players selected in the 2022 draft.
