The record

Compiled by the MrScandal desk from the documents below · Desk editor Gustavs Ērkšķis-Kreicbergs · Nov 9, 2026

Quentin Lake is a safety for the Los Angeles Rams, who took him out of UCLA with the 211th overall pick, in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was born in Pittsburgh and played at Mater Dei High School. His father, Carnell Lake, played linebacker at UCLA and for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his final college season, 2021, Lake was a second-team All-Pac-12 pick and tied for the Bruins' lead with three interceptions.

He started his rookie year on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list and debuted in Week 10 of 2022 after a knee injury. He became a starter in 2024, when he started 16 games, made 111 combined tackles and was voted a team captain, a role the team says he held again in 2025. The Pro Football Writers of America chapter covering the Rams gave him its 2025 Good Guy Award.

An elbow injury in the Rams' November 16, 2025 win over Seattle put him on injured reserve. While he was out, on January 1, 2026, he signed a three-year extension that keeps him under contract through 2028; the reports read do not give its value. The Rams activated him on January 6, 2026, and through nine games of the 2026 season the team credits him with three interceptions and 11 passes defended.
