The Los Angeles Rams have a wide-open competition for the No. 3 wide receiver spot on the depth chart this summer and among those battling for the job is Konata Mumpfield. The second-year receiver out of Pitt didn’t put up big numbers as a rookie in 2025 but he played meaningful snaps as a seventh-round pick.
Davante Adams was a big fan of his last season, talking up the young wideout during camp and the regular season. Adams’ confidence in Mumpfield hasn’t wavered entering the 2026 campaign, either.
Out of the blue, Adams posted a photo of Mumpfield’s locker on Instagram Monday and wrote the following caption: “The TRUTH…. just wait. ”
Mumpfield played all 17 games last season and caught 10 of his 23 targets for 92 yards with one touchdown. He played about a third of the offensive snaps, helping fill in for Tutu Atwell and Adams when they were injured.
He’s competing with Xavier Smith, CJ Daniels and Jordan Whittington for the No. 3 receiver spot and it’s truly anyone’s job for the taking. Mumpfield is the best route runner of the bunch, so if he can start creating after the catch a bit more, he could become a playmaker for Los Angeles.
