Former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt accepted a position with the Los Angeles Rams as a senior offensive assistant.
Van Pelt was a one-and-done coach under the short-lived Jerod Mayo era in New England. He had a hand in helping develop rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who was one of the few bright spots for the team last season.
Maye made the Pro Bowl in his first NFL season, and he flashed a high ceiling in an offense lacking in receiving and offensive line talent. Before joining the Patriots, Van Pelt spent four seasons with the Cleveland Browns working as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Van Pelt landed in a great spot working under a former Super Bowl-winning head coach in Rams coach Sean McVay. However, the Rams have some major question marks of their own, particularly at the quarterback position with Matthew Stafford.
Will the Rams move on or stay the course for another season with the 37-year-old quarterback?
