Oregon Tight End Drafted by Rams, Poised for NFL Stardom
19 Jul
Summary
- Drafted 46th overall by Rams in 2025 NFL Draft
- Oregon's all-time leader in TE receptions and 2nd in receiving yards
- Breakout 2024 season with 43 receptions, 591 yards, 3 TDs
In the 2025 NFL Draft, Oregon tight end Cam Ferguson was selected 46th overall by the Los Angeles Rams. This marked the first time a Duck tight end had been drafted since 2010, when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected David Paulson in the third round.
Across four seasons with the Ducks, Ferguson left Oregon as the program's all-time leader among tight ends in receptions (134) and ranked second all-time in receiving yards (1,537). He had an especially excellent 2024 campaign, finishing as an All-Big Ten third-team performer and being named to the John Mackey Award watch list for the best tight end in the country. That season, he tied the Oregon single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 43 while finishing second in single-season history with 591 receiving yards.
Now with the Rams, Ferguson has a chance to once again impress under head coach and offensive mastermind Sean McVay. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, one of the league's purest passers, will also provide the former Duck a nice runway to begin his NFL career.
