Drawing plays great teaching, bonding moment for Sean McVay, Rams assistant coaches

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- When Zac Taylor was hired by Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay in 2017 to be assistant wide receivers coach, part of the new gig brought him back to his earlier coaching days.

Taylor was tasked with taking McVay's play script, typically a printed-out Word document, and using the program Pro Quick Draw to draw out the plays McVay wanted added to the game book.

Taylor, now the coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, did the same task when he was a graduate assistant at Texas A&M.

"To go back and do it again for the Rams -- trust me -- was humbling for both [Rams offensive coordinator] Liam [Coen] and I," Taylor said.
