Episode Details

Warren McClendon Jr. is poised to start at right tackle for the Rams this season — a first for him — after stepping up last year when injuries opened the door. A fifth-round pick from Georgia, he thrived as a starter in 2025, earning a top-15 run-blocking grade and a spot on the team’s most important player list. With elite edge rushers like Bosa and Crosby looming, McClendon’s ability to anchor the right side will be critical for protecting Stafford. His future could shift if Alaric Jackson’s off-field issues force a lineup change — but McClendon’s ready to step into whatever role is needed.
