Rams traveling to visit one of the top QBs in the 2026 draft
· Yahoo Sports
The Los Angeles Rams aren’t big on pre-draft visits. They don’t host any prospects at their facility for official visits, and they rarely travel to meet with them, either. But they’re making an exception for one player in the 2026 draft class.
LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier said in an interview with NFL Network on Wednesday night that he has the Rams “coming into town” for a pre-draft visit. He’s also meeting with several other teams, including the Jets and Colts, but it’s interesting that the Rams are hitting the road to meet with the LSU quarterback.

“I’ve got the Jets in the next couple of days, I’ve got the Rams coming into town, I’m heading out to Indianapolis, heading to Gruden this weekend, which I’m excited for. That’s going to be a lot of fun,” Nussmeier said.

Nussmeier is viewed as one of the three best quarterbacks in this year’s class by most draft experts, with some analysts even ranking him second behind Fernando Mendoza. He was a particularly promising prospect after the 2024 season when he threw for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns with 12 interceptions for the Tigers.
In 2025, he battled through an abdominal injury suffered last fall, which led to a significant drop in production and a steadily declining draft stock. He threw for only 1,927 yards and 12 touchdowns with five interceptions in nine games, going from 311.7 yards per game to only 214.1.
He’s slightly undersized at 6-foot-2 but he has a strong arm and is mobile enough to escape the pocket and avoid pass rushers to buy time when dropping back. Nussmeier is viewed as a Day 2 prospect who could potentially sneak into Round 1 for a quarterback-needy team.
The Rams pick at No. 13 and 61, so taking him with their first pick would certainly be too early. But if he were to slip to No. 61 overall, it’s conceivable they could take him – especially after traveling to visit with him before the draft.
