Brandon Powell, a former Florida wide receiver, was only signed by the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 4 of this year, but he’s already making a big impact.
In a tight game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Powell was back to return a punt.
As you can see below, he made the most of it, returning it more than 50 yards for a touchdown to extend the Rams’ lead to 20-10:

That was only the second punt return touchdown in the NFL this season, and it came at a great time for the Rams.
Prior to joining the Rams, Powell, who went undrafted in 2018, has played for the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.
