Whittington suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Rams in 2025, totaling 18 grabs for 171 yards on 25 targets. He also returned 17 kickoffs for 434 yards and had three carries for 12 yards. The 2024 sixth-round pick appears destined for a similar reserve role in 2026, given that Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are solidified as Los Angeles' clear top wideouts, and the current iteration of coach Sean McVay's offense heavily features multi-TE formations. If either of Nacua or Adams miss time in 2026, however, Whittington could be the Rams' best option to step into the slot and produce.
