Baumgardner: Really good football player who did a lot of stuff in Iowa State’s 3-3-5. There were situations where he’d line up and rush the passer off the edge, or flex out and run with a faster tight end. He’s very light (225), but a complete athlete. Has interesting coverage potential in the box and was pretty much trusted with everything but driving the bus in college. Played in five bowls, which is insane.
Rodrigue: Hummel has a real shot at cracking this roster or at least sticking as a priority practice squad player (he’ll compete more so with
Jake Gervase, the converted safety, and
Christian Rozeboom than he will with
Travin Howard, who is currently the Rams’ ILB3).
