In a remarkable turn of events, Jaxson King Taua Moi has become the latest player of Armenian descent to join an NFL roster, signing with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent this offseason. The 6-foot-2, 305-pound defensive lineman showcased his skills during the preseason, participating in all three games for the Rams and recording six tackles across 96 defensive snaps.
Moi’s football journey began at Stanford and Tennessee, where he amassed an impressive college career with 64 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, and one forced fumble over 46 games. Despite his potential, the Rams waived him during their final roster reduction on August 30. After clearing waivers, Moi was not added to Los Angeles’ initial practice squad, which now allows him the opportunity to sign with another NFL team.
As a player of Samoan, Irish, and Armenian descent, Moi represents a diverse background that adds to the rich tapestry of the sport. His journey and resilience continue to inspire aspiring athletes across the nation.
