THOUSAND OAKS — Nelson Spruce made the catch of the day.
As the Rams worked on red-zone offense on a perfect Tuesday afternoon on the campus of Cal Lutheran, Spruce caught an absolute laser from backup quarterback Sean Mannion .. which just grazed the fingers of the defensive back.
‘That one (the catch) took a little extra concentration cause the DB undercut it at the last second, I think he even got a hand on it,” said Spruce following Day 1 of the Rams’ minicamp. “It was coming so fast. The location was perfect from Sean.”
In 2016, Spruce had a decent preseason … with a few highlight plays … before losing his rookie year to injury reserve because of knee and calf injuries.
