Whittington will enter training camp competing for the Rams' No. 3 wide reciever role behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
A sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Whittington saw his snap count on offense increase in his sophomore campaign, but that didn't result in increased production as he finished the 2025 regular season with 18 catches on 25 targets for 171 yards across 17 games. His proficiency on special teams and as a blocker will keep him on the field, but he'll be competing in training camp with Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels and Tyler Scott for the top spot behind the dynamic duo of Nacua and Adams.
