Keenum has been named the Rams' starter for the beginning of the regular season, Lindsey Thiry of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Keenum had been competing with Sean Mannion and No.1 overall pick Jared Goff for the starting role. By far the most experienced of the group, Keenum projects to be the starter for the forseeable future, with the team only looking to make a change if poor play forces them to do so. He's started 15 games in his career, but never in an opener. Look for him to easily outperform his season long projections if he holds on to the starting gig for a majority of 2016.
