Did This Rams acqusition slip by unnoticed?

The Rams signed SS Mark Rubin on April 28 just 2 days after this year's draft.

These are his measureables from Penn State's Pro day this past March:

Ht 6' 1¼"; Wt 222 lb.; 40 yard dash 4.59; 10-yd split 1.58; 20-yd split 2.67; 20-yd shuttle 4.26; 3-cone drill 6.78; Vertical jump 32 in.

If you're a Nittany Lion fan you already know this but if not, here's more information than you ever wanted to know about Mark Rubin's last two years at Penn St.:

In 2007, Rubin played in every game on both defense and special teams and earned the starting safety job the last five games. He ended the season with 32 tackles (17 solo), with one tackle for loss. Rubin had 8 tackles in the Nittany Lions' 24-17 Alamo Bowl victory over Texas A&M, helping hold the Aggies to 3 points over the final 49 minutes.

Rubin became the Nittany Lions' full-time starter in 2008. His best game came during Penn State's much-anticipated nationally-televised showdown with Ohio State. With Penn State trailing by three points with 10:38 to play, Rubin's tackle of Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor forced a momentum-changing fumble which was recovered by Penn State. The play was voted the week's Pontiac Game Changing Performance with an overwhelming 53 percent of the total votes.  Rubin led the defense with a career-high 11 tackles in the victory, and was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation Defensive Player of the Week and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. He ended the season with 60 tackles (30 solo), with one tackle for loss, two interceptions and one forced fumble.  Overall, Rubin started 24 career games at Penn State.

So ya have to ask yourself, does this guy have the potential to work into the Rams safety rotation? Guess we'll find out during spring training or the pre-season games.

Go Rams!
