Rams draft Ferguson after trading out of Round 1

The Los Angeles Rams selected Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 46th overall.

The tight end position was a big need for the Rams, who saw Tyler Higbee miss most of the 2024 season while recovering from a torn ACL. Higbee turned 32 this year.

Ferguson set a career high with 591 receiving yards to go along with 43 receptions and three touchdowns in 2024.

Pre-draft profile

Ferguson is an impressive athlete. Combine testing confirmed everything we saw on the field at Oregon, leaving little question about how his unique movement skills will translate to the professional level. He's done the most damage with the ball in his hands, taking underneath passes and consistently turning them into chunk gains. Ferguson likely won't be a fit as an in-line blocker, and there is some projection required for his game as a receiver. He'll need to expand his route tree to have a significant role in that area of the game. But he certainly has the physical skills, and he's a reliable finisher at the catch point. Given some time to develop, Ferguson could become an interesting playmaker in the passing game.
