WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. On Sunday, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr recorded his first interception with the franchise, continuing to provide needed help on the outside in what is quickly becoming one of the top waiver moves of last season.
After being waived by the Washington Commanders, the former first-round pick has found his form in Los Angeles, playing a pivotal role in all eight of the team’s games this season.
McVay on Forbes
“It was big,” stated McVay. “I think the thing that’s cool is I don’t think anybody would be surprised because this is a culmination of the work and the consistent approach that he’s put in Monday through Saturdays and then it translates in terms of showing up on Sunday where he’s given himself the best chance for a lot of that stuff to come to life. I give [Assistant Head Coach/ Pass Game Coordinator] Aubrey [Pleasant] a ton of credit for the relationship he’s developed, really not exclusive to Emmanuel, but with all of his players on our team in general.”
