DENVER -- Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin is different.
He wears socks decorated with Roger Goodell's face, produces weird noises on the sidelines, and, of most relevance to the topic, gets his production in unconventional ways. So perhaps it wouldn't be fair to compare him to the elite receivers in the game, even though the four-year, $42 million extension he signed with the Los Angeles Rams puts him in the neighborhood of that earnings bracket.
The deal carries a $10.5 million average annual value that makes Austin the 12th highest paid receiver when it begins in 2018.
