While still in St. Louis, the Rams drafted Ogletree with the No. 30 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft. Gurley was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Ogletree made the 2013 All-Rookie team with the Rams and was a second-team AP All-Pro in 2016. He was also an alternate selection for the Pro Bowl last season.
Gurley came back from a season-ending injury at the end of his Georgia career to win NFL Rookie of the Year in 2015. He also made the Pro Bowl in that rookie season.
