Yahoo Sports NFL on Dean Connors

Connors caught 4 passes for 2 TDs; competing for the No. 4 RB spot.

Running back competing for a roster spot on the Rams with significant opportunities at stake. Connors made his case as a receiver in the preseason opener against Kansas City with four catches and two touchdowns, showcasing receiving ability. Ronnie Rivers appears to have the inside track on the No. 3 running back job, potentially leaving Connors and Jarquez Hunter to wrestle over the fourth spot on the depth chart. Connors' receiving production in the first preseason game has strengthened his position in the competition.
