It’s a tradition of sorts for teams to hand out trinkets to prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine. A hat, a T-shirt, etc.
Turns out the only T-shirt Sean Mannion got back in February in Indianapolis was from the Rams. So maybe this was meant to be.
“You know what?” Mannion said. “This is the only one I need now.”
For sure. When he got the phone call last Friday night from the Rams drafting him in the third round, Mannion dug out that T-shirt and conveniently put it on for a television interview a few minutes later.
