Louis


The St. Louis Rams have finally inked their first round pick Robert Quinn, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rams training camp started today, so the team will be anxious to get their new defensive end on the field as soon as possible. Quinn had some issues with his former agent and recently signed a new one, which complicated his situation. Though rules have complicated his signing, Quinn and the Rams have agreed to a deal and he will be practicing with the team soon.
Quinn was the 14th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and he should give the Rams some much needed help at defensive end. Though rookie QB Sam Bradford had the Rams on the brink of a playoff berth, albeit out of the weak NFC West, there's no question that their pass rush needed some serious help.
The investigation into violations at North Carolina kept Quinn off the field in 2010, but he put up an impressive 11 sacks in 2009 for the Tar Heels. For more on Quinn's signing and the St. Louis Rams, check out SB Nation's Rams blog Turf Show Times.
