Rams safeties Lake and Curl say Kinchens developing into 'All-Pro' caliber player
Los Angeles Rams safeties Quentin Lake and Kam Curl have publicly praised the development of fellow safety Kamren Kinchens, describing him as capable of 'All-Pro' level play, according to a report by Nate Atkins of The Athletic.
Kinchens was selected by the Rams with the 99th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and has appeared in 34 regular-season games over his first two seasons in the league. He recorded six interceptions during that span, playing in what the source describes as a crowded Rams safety room.
Before entering the NFL, Kinchens recorded 11 interceptions through two seasons as a college starter. At training camp, he has intercepted passes thrown by fourth-year veteran quarterback Stetson Bennett and reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Matthew Stafford, the latter coming after a tipped ball, according to Atkins.
Kinchens told Atkins that his two interceptions last season both came in a Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks, which the Rams won 21-19. He said evaluating his performance through turnovers has long been central to how he grades his own play, but acknowledged that approach carries risk.
Kinchens attributed his increased ball production at camp in part to the pass rush created by the acquisition of Myles Garrett, saying it 'brings some more space for me to make some plays.'
- The source does not state Kinchens' specific statistics — such as tackles or yards allowed — beyond interception totals.
- The source does not specify when or on what terms Myles Garrett was acquired by the Rams.
- The source does not state the current roster composition or depth chart for the Rams safety position.
- The source does not include comment from Rams coaches on Kinchens' development or role for the upcoming season.
- The source describes Kinchens as beginning his 'third season' but he was drafted in 2024, which would make 2026 his third season — the source does not clarify the current year or season.
