## Resource

Xavier Smith’s future with the Rams hinges on one season: can he evolve from special teams standout to reliable receiver? With a muffed punt in the NFC Championship still haunting him, Smith has a chance to carve out a bigger role behind the top wideouts, but he must prove his consistency and growth on offense. Last year’s 18 catches for over 300 yards and explosive plays show promise, but the team needs him to be more than a return specialist. If he doesn’t seize this opportunity, his legacy in LA could be defined by that one costly mistake. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
