Jake Locker To Return To University of Washington

The Locker Is Closed

Many Rams fans want the St. Louis Rams to draft Jake Locker in the 2010 NFL draft to be the Rams franchise quarterback. Well those plans were shutdown on Monday when Jake Locker announced that he will return to the University of Washington for his senior season. Jake Locker is the top NFL QB prospects on most boards. Since Steve Sarkisian brought his NFL style offense to Washington, Locker has jumped to the top list of QB prospects. On Monday Locker said “After a great deal of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided to return to Washington and play my senior year. I am very excited about this team’s opportunities and potential for the upcoming season and I am looking forward to being a part of it.”

This news will move Jimmy Clausen and Sam Bradford up on the Rams draft board. Will the Rams draft a new franchise QB, go with Suh, or even another OT like Russell Okung? At 1-12 many Rams fans are looking forward to rebuilding, and the NFL draft in April of 2010 needs to play a large part in that plan.
