The Central Arkansas product appeared in 11 games (five starts) and recorded an interception. Unfortunately, he was placed on injured reserve late in his rookie season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VphVk2\">Since his first year in the league, Rochell has never again found his footing on defense. The Rams released him in their final roster cuts in 2023.<\/p>\n<figure><span data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg\"> <picture data-cdata=\"{&quot;asset_id&quot;:25921984,&quot;ratio&quot;:&quot;*&quot;}\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1742605356_7636_49465\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/qntV8gQ1puXYSAlko7sDxCbyFxw=\/0x0:3651x2351\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/ALCR3iddnerPvR-xC8LDenj9-hA=\/0x0:3651x2351\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/8J7fUfS1CNuWHE32hiEtdO5d-WQ=\/0x0:3651x2351\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/EwFhP_j9oS17xjtCvcQBDW926ic=\/0x0:3651x2351\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/6bkZ5HdGsAI7RJwjkYMz0qKYqTg=\/0x0:3651x2351\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/e_dvujMW64Cbm2pgBwnPSiNz9Io=\/0x0:3651x2351\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/F0116XYltEhHpAFTe7_UZI7H2WU=\/0x0:3651x2351\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/2KLGEmT3bYxsChbqjqQTgS6_dFg=\/0x0:3651x2351\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/g4D7859VNA1nluDS_W7qFV7tGdQ=\/0x0:3651x2351\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3651x2351):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25921984\/usa_today_24893122.jpg 1920w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1221px) 846px, (min-width: 880px) calc(100vw -
