Rams' Michael Hoecht: Increases production in year three
Mike Hoecht logged 81 tackles (45 solo), 6.0 sacks and two passes defended during the 2023 regular season over 17 games played.After ending the 2022 campaign with a role as a starting outside linebacker, the Los Angeles Rams picked up Hoecht's exclusive rights free-agent tender to bring him back for a third season. He was a starter alongside Byron Young, and Hoecht more than doubled his snap count from last season while easily setting career highs in tackles and sacks. One glaring issue with the duo was a lack of pash-rush win percentage, with Hoecht in particular at 11.1 percent (42nd out of 58 qualifying edge players), and pass rusher may be a position addressed by the team in the offseason, which could leave Hoecht looking for a new home in 2024.
