Jordan Whittington

Slot receiver with plenty of gadget usage. Whittington was utilized out of the backfield on angle and wheel routes, with screens, handoffs, etc. He is an upright runner who looks like a throw-back power back in the open field. He doesn't run with that type of gusto, though. Whittington's upright running style can be brought down relatively easily if he doesn't have a head of steam built up. Out of the slot, Whittington has a ton of rounded routes. He lacks suddenness at the top of his stem. There are plenty of reps where he looks like he's running half-speed. His short-area quickness is nice at times, though, which makes it head-scratching because he has multiple whip routes on film where he leaves defenders flailing at air.

The Los Angeles Rams have selected WR Jordan Whittington with the No. 213 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Whittington is considered a big slot wide receiver and a solid blocker. He may have a tough time carving out a role considering the number of wide receivers already on the Rams’ roster that can operate out of the slot.
