TE Max Klare, Former St. Xavier HS Star, Drafted by Rams in Round 2
The former St. Xavier star impressed with 43 catches for 448 yards at Ohio State and was the fourth tight end taken in the round.
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Rams selected Ohio State tight end Max Klare with the 61st overall pick in the NFL Draft, making him the fourth tight end chosen in the second round.
- The Rams prioritized tight end depth to support their offensive scheme, which utilized 13 personnel packages more than any other NFL team; their 331 plays in that formation led the league.
- During his lone season with the Ohio State Buckeyes, Klare recorded 43 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns. While scouts note his run blocking remains "functional," his athleticism creates mismatches as an F-tight end.
- Adding Klare bolsters the roster as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen enter final contract years, while Tyler Higbee manages injury concerns. Klare provides quarterback Matthew Stafford another receiving weapon for the upcoming season.
- General Manager Les Snead holds six remaining picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and may target defensive or offensive line depth as the team continues building its roster through the weekend.
