Beaux Limmer is starting at center as a rookie for the Los Angeles Rams because veteran offensive lineman Jonah Jackson was injured in Week 2 at Arizona.
Guess who the 23-year-old says is the most valuable mentor in acclimating to life at the NFL level?
"The person that sticks out in my mind is Jonah Jackson," the former Arkansas Razorback tells us on this week's Rams Revealed. "Getting the chance to hang out with him, even outside of football, and spending time with him, getting to go over to his house, hang out at the pool, even just going to dinners. He's really taken me under his wing I feel like… Every time I come off to the sideline, he's talking to me about different things that are going on during the game."
With the 217th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have selected Arkansas offensive lineman Beaux Limmer. Take a look through the best photos from his time at Arkansas.

While Jackson may be his go-to source for perspective, Limmer is bringing plenty to the offensive meeting room himself.
Namely, Starbucks.
"It's my rookie duty to buy all the vets coffee every single morning. So, pretty expensive but it must be done."
Who's responsible for the funniest order in that position group?
"I'd say (Kevin Dotson)," Limmer responded with good-natured exasperation. "K-Dot doesn't even get coffee. He just gets the refreshers. I just think he likes to waste my money."
A daily dose of caffeine may help the Tyler, Texas native get up to speed in the Sean McVay offense, a task he likens to preparing for his economics final in college. But there's no better failsafe than having a 16-year cheat sheet commanding his huddle and line of scrimmage.
"Matthew Stafford knows absolutely everything about the offense. And absolutely everything about any defense that's out there. So, if I ever make a mistake or make a wrong call, then Matthew hears it, and he's going to correct me right away."
Fresh off their bye, Limmer and the Rams return to SoFi Stadium this Sunday to take on the Las Vegas Raiders, immediately followed by Thursday Night football versus the Minnesota Vikings. You can join us for either game – or both! – by purchasing tickets here.
