**. Heisman Trophy 2008 (Horvath – Ohio St., 1944; Baker – Oregon St., 1962).
***. Brothers Merlin & Phil Olsen played Rams DT, side by side, early 70s. Only two I know of in NFL, ever.


:ram:

Added to the list at No. 44: Jake McQuaide, LS [11 (has also used No. 45)], undrafted rookie.

http://static.foxsports.com/fe/image...x170/25549.jpg

Updated list: With jersey No. 38, Josh Gordy. Came in last year to help Rams secondary.

http://pictures.replayphotos.com/ima...k8-00038md.jpg -- http://prod.static.rams.clubs.nfl.co...umb_128_83.jpg

Perhaps retiring after 14 NFL seasons, Al Harris played CB w/the Rams CB last year, jersey No. 31.

http://hosted.stats.com/fb/graphics/...s/nfl_9722.jpg -- http://static.foxsports.com/fe/image...0x170/6657.jpg

CB Nate Ness, No. 30; starting Safety Quintin Mikell, No. 27 are listed today, the latter a keeper tomorrow?

Quinn Porter came in last year to help the Rams ST. He's got No. 35. http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/foot...80/1696723.jpg

Chris Smith was a Rams DB for a few games (3) in '11. Jersey No. 36. http://static.nfl.com/static/content.../SMI141622.jpg

One of my favorite LBs in the Rams D### of the 60s was Jack Pardee (1957-70, sans '65). Hard nose football player, for sure. Good ball scanner too, 17 INTs as a Ram. My salute to this No. 32.

http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl...s/PardeeLA.jpg -- http://www.phillysportscards.com/Images/64PF-92-1.jpg

With No. 43, we have Jerry Richardson, playing DB with the Rams in 1964. Remember Greg Bell? 'Very good RB that succeeded under HC John Robinson's regime in the late 80s; jersey No. 42. Wearing No. 41 in the old school Rams of the early 50, including the '51 NFL Champion team was Glenn Davis.

Greg Bell, Rams RB 1987-89. Jersey No. 42. http://hollywoodknights.com/hk/roster/gregbell.jpg

Five 50s: Jim Collins, LB; Ken Iman, a very good, durable center; Leon McLaughlin, C; Frank Stams, LB; Ryan Tucker, G with our SB team. See list above for years played.

Heroes of yesterday: Aeneas Williams, great / hard hitting CB and a fine individual. No. 35.

http://www.blackenterprise.com/files...llprosells.jpg - http://www.stlsports.org/awards/Imag...s_williams.jpg

Other No. 35s: RB Henry Dyer (1966), and RB/LB Paul Younger (1949).

Just added RB Jerious Norwood who came to the Rams last year w/No. 34. 'You're on the list! :ram:

Then Cadillac Williams, RB, is also placed today on 'The List', No. 33; he too arrived in 2011.

http://static.foxsports.com/fe/image...0x170/7828.jpg - http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/S...Hx1PP7i6ks.jpg - http://www.customjerseycheap.com/ima...6742131821.jpg http://www.josportscoauctions.com/Lo.../1536a_sm.jpeg

Receiver (or 'end' as they were called in old school football) Jim Benton was terrific. He played his last NFL years with the Rams (both in Cleveland and L.A. [LA Rams 1946-47]), wearing No. 49. First player to catch 300 yards is a game. Clic on image at bottom.

Also with No. 49 was Rod Perry, a very good DB of the mid 70s, early 80s. Almost got that SB ring! A few years later CB Mickey Sutton donned that jersey number. Had four INTs for the Rams.

Classic Rams jersey No. 49 of the early 50s.

DB Willie Daniel played his last three years with the Rams (1967-69) as part of ST and of that superb defense we had back then. Jersey No. 46.

Daniels, ca. 1968. http://www.davepear.com/images/Willie%20Daniel.jpg

At TE -- during those few years when it seemed we had more tight ends than OL -- with No. 46 also was Daniel Fells (2008-10). I kind of liked this player with the Rams.

Clendon Thomas played HB/DB his first four years in the NFL with the L.A. Rams (1958) with No. 46.

Clic card below.

Chris Massey, Rams 2002-10, No. 45. http://www.dailymail.com/mediafiles/...0822235825.jpg Very consistent LS in NFL. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Massey, blue collar best.


Mike Dennis, Rams RB in 1968. >>>> Rams Todd Lyght, fine DB from 1991-00. No. 41.

The following season Dennis'
career was over due to injury.
No. 43 only played one year.


http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/m/mymN...7K0Gqg/140.jpg No. 45: Jim Bertelsen, Rams RB / strong blocker, 1972-76.

Picture below is of Bertelsen's rookie year.

One of our HOF Rams, Elroy Hirsch was a true NFL icon. He played with us from 1949-57. No. 40.
