He was the second overall pick in the NFL draft, but the education of Chris Long continues.
With the offseason work now complete, Long points toward training camp as a time when he will simply strive to improve. As for the on-field work after being drafted, Long said, "It's humbling. A lot of it flew by quick. But you see the big picture and you realize it's a cycle and you're starting over again."
Long played in a 3-4 defense in college and also was on the left side. He is now on the right side for the Rams. He is looking forward to the time when he'll be able to just play rather than having to think.
"You're always thinking until you get to that point where you know (your assignments) like the back of your hand," he said.
