Rams HC on Tavon Austin this season: 'Could be a breakout year'

Rams head coach Jeff Fisher is confident wide receiver Tavon Austin will finally live up to the hype that surrounded him when the franchise made him the first receiver selected in the 2013 draft, per NBC Sports.

“This has nothing to do with Tavon,” Fisher said. “It’s not a reflection on what he’s done. Tavon has done everything he possibly can. He’s in great shape, and he’s highly talented and a passionate teammate. This has been more about the circumstances of our situation. This potentially could be a breakout year for him. Because he’s got the potential to win outside and inside.”

Austin has recorded just 71 catcher for 660 yards in his first two seasons with the Rams.
