Rams hire Alex Van Pelt as senior offensive assistant for 2025

The Los Angeles Rams have announced their coaching staff for the 2025 NFL season, highlighting the addition of former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt as a senior offensive assistant. Van Pelt, who previously held the same role with the Cleveland Browns, will collaborate with offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and a revamped staff. The Rams' offense struggled during the 2024 season, finishing 15th in total offense and 20th in scoring, largely due to injuries to key players. Van Pelt's hiring comes amid uncertainty regarding quarterback Matthew Stafford's future with the team. The Rams also made several other coaching changes, including the return of Jimmy Lake as a senior defensive assistant. This restructuring aims to enhance the Rams' performance after a disappointing campaign last year.
