Random Ramsdom: Tutu Atwell quietly having career year

The Los Angeles Rams are sitting in first place in the NFC West and there are a number of big name players to thank for that such as Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua, but there are lesser known names to thank as well and one of those names is Tutu Atwell.

This could be Atwell’s last season with the Rams, and he seems to be making the most of it. The young wide receiver is putting up the most yards he ever has in a season and he’s been a nice complimentary piece when called upon.

“Karty spoke to the media following his impressive performance against the 49ers and spoke on his rookie year as a whole and the struggles he has faced early on and being able to work out of it as the guy that the organization trusts to deliver big kicks in key moments.

“Oh, it’s great. I’ve learned a lot this year and had some ups and some downs,” Karty said. “There was a stretch in there where it was pretty rough and there was only one way out of it. That’s to just keep putting in the work, keep kicking. I’ve learned it’s a long season, 17 weeks, one game doesn’t define you whether it’s good or whether it’s bad.”
