Kam Curl thinks Rams defense has a chance to be legendary

The Rams are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl this season and a big reason why is the trade that brought Myles Garrett to Los Angeles on the first day of June.

Adding the 2025 defensive player of the year to a team that had already made significant additions to their secondary gives the Rams a unit with few holes, which is why safety Kam Curl didn’t hold back with his assessment of their potential during an appearance on Up & Adams this week.

“Right now it’s early — it’s only what, June — but I feel like we’ve got a chance to be legendary,” Curl said. “Just the type of guys we got, the coaches we got. We’ve got a bunch of experience back there. We’ve got some Super Bowl winners in there, we’ve got some Defensive Player of the Years. We’ve got some guys that, if we do what we’ve got to do, we can be one of the best.”

The Garrett trade led to speculation about defensive tackle Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to rejoin the Rams for a run at a second Super Bowl ring. That would do nothing to change Curl’s view of what the team is capable of doing and it would likely lead to less printable responses from opposing coaches about the Rams.
