Surprise WR Pushed to Rams by Louis Riddick

Riddick posted on X how Konata Mumpfield of Pittsburgh should be on the Rams' draft radar. The NFL analyst dropped a glowing review of the relatively unknown wideout for this 2025 class. 

"Think about a pairing of WR Mumpfield with Puka, Davante, and [Matthew] Stafford in L.A. if the Rams were to draft him. Come on man, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about when I say this WR draft has ballers," Riddick began. 

He dove into how the 5-foot-11 target would fit inside the "Rams House" if selected. 

"Mumpfield can play inside or out, runs GREAT routes, is tough as F, will go over the middle, has great hands, will block," Riddick said. "Rams House, you should want this."

The Pitt Panther sounds like the kind of selfless wideout Sean McVay looks for. He thrived with Cooper Kupp as a route runner, willing blocker, and accepting a lesser role with the rise of Nacua. The new WR1 for the Rams Nacua is another who brings similar elements. 

Mumpfield is still less heralded compared to names like Tetairoa McMillan, Luther Burden II, Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond. He's not commanding day one or even day two attention. Lance Zierlein of the NFL Network even predicted Mumpfield will be a priority free agent. Mumpfield's reported 4.59 time in the 40-yard dash is likely why he's not listed high on draft boards. 

Riddick, however, believes in his game. And Mumpfield's fit with the Rams. Mumpfield was a team captain at Pitt and ended the season racking 813 receiving yards off 52 receptions.
