At no point during the Rams' walk-through at Scott Air Force Base did Rams wide receiver Daniel Rodriguez get conflicted and side with the military.
"I think maybe he's always welcome with those guys," tight end Jared Cook said, smiling. "But he's with us for now."
No one ever seems to recognize Rodriguez, the Afghanistan war hero and Purple Heart recipient while in the Army. So it was coach Jeff Fisher who introduced Rodriguez to the Air Force servicemen and servicewomen after Wednesday's 45-minute walkthrough.
"I let the soldiers know that we had one of their own on our team," Fisher said.
