The second Tutu Atwell was drafted by the Rams in the second round, he was going to have a hard time finding playing time as a rookie. The Rams already had Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Van Jefferson penciled in as their starting receivers, and DeSean Jackson came aboard as the fourth option.
That immediately left Atwell as WR5 before even taking the field for a single practice. For that reason, among others, Atwell has been counted out from the start, with many fans and analysts questioning the pick by the Rams.
After a difficult rookie year that ended early due to a shoulder injury, Atwell is ready to prove his doubters wrong. He shared a message for them on Twitter, saying he loves being counted out.
