When Los Angeles visits the New Orleans Saints for its preseason finale on Thursday night, Rams inside linebacker Mark Barron and tight end Gerald Everett won't take the field despite being not too far from scenes of their former football glory.
Barron was a prep star at St. Paul's Episcopal in Mobile before becoming an All-American safety at Alabama. Everett completed his college career at South Alabama after UAB shuttered its football program.
The Rams have played their starters lightly in the preseason, but Barron and Everett haven't played at all.
