THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Greg Gaines met with the Los Angeles Rams once. The interview at the Senior Bowl was the defensive tackle's one, and only, interview with the defending NFC champions before the NFL draft.
So it came as a shock to Gaines when his phone rang after the Rams traded up into the fourth round, to the 134th overall pick.
“It was just amazing,” said Gaines, who spent five seasons at the University of Washington. “I’m super excited.”
The Rams traded out of the first round of the draft.
