Which player first got you interested in football?
Countless NFL legends have suited up for the Los Angeles Rams: Aaron Donald, Deacon Jones, Eric Dickerson and many, many others. While the Rams have one of the richest histories in league history, fans likely have other non-L.A. players who have gotten them invested in football.
Two of my all-time favorite players are Barry Sanders and John Elway. Nothing gets me hyped more than watching old highlights of Barry dodging and darting opposing defenders, leaving them to bow their heads in shame while lying on the turf.
My dad would always pop in his copy of “Elway: Champion Forever” on VHS before every Super Bowl growing up. No Super Bowl Sunday would be complete without Big John throwing that ball.
Even though I was born right at the tail end of their careers, both players provided me with special memories that I will treasure forever. I must also note that as critical as I’ve been of Aaron Rodgers on this site, he was the player who first got me invested in the sport. There was truly nothing more cinematic and awe-inspiring than prime A-Rod, and I happily stand by that statement.
So Turf Show Ramily, who are some of your favorite non-Rams players of all time? Please let us know in the comments!
