About Yeast Updated Jul 31, 2026

versatile, assignment-sound safety with proven tackling production

Yeast profiles as a reliable **depth safety** whose best selling points are tackling consistency, versatility, and steady communication in the back end. In the 2023 season, he logged **61 tackles** and **5 passes defended** for the Rams, showing he can contribute in coverage and run support even when he is not the headline playmaker. His NFL path has been uneven with only **4 games played in 2024**, so durability and roster stability are the main questions, but his experience and steady, physical style make him a sensible fit for a team that wants a smart, assignment-clean defensive back.
