Hello everyone! I have been lurking these forums for about a year now but never got around to making an account until now. First off, I just wanted to say that I really like this community and appreciate all the news and information many of you provide on a daily basis.

The reason why I wanted to make this post is because I had something pretty cool happen yesterday. My parents live across the street from the practice fields at California Lutheran University and I happened to be at their house when I heard yelling and whistles in the distance. So I immediately threw on my jersey and rams hat and walked over to the fields hoping I would be able to see part of their final practice before leaving to San Francisco!

They have two fields that they use for practice. I wasn't able to get too close because they have a fence that blocks out access. A Rams employee came up to me and told me that residents are allowed to watch because they make a lot of noise but said not to take any videos, just pictures. I took a few pictures but the quality of them are not that great since the players were pretty far away.

I did see Gurley make a few good runs and Keenum make a nice throw to Britt. After the 11 on 11 drills, they split the defense and offense up onto two different fields.

I only stayed for about half an hour and then I had to go to work. About half way through my shift a huge guy comes walking into my work with a Rams shirt on. I immediately realize that it's Tyler Higbee. I told him that I am a huge rams fan and said that I saw him tear it up against Dallas in preseason. He started laughing and asked for my name, shook my hand, and talked about if I lived in the area, etc. he said that the team leaves for San Francisco Sunday morning. Overall, he was a really chill and awesome guy to talk to! I'm so excited for Monday for the Rams to take on the 9ers! The offseason takes way too long!

TL;DR
Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I live next to CLU and I ran into Higbee at work last night.

Here is a photo of practice, I know it's bad quality, next time I'll bring a better camera. You can at least see the 3 QBs

That's pretty cool. Higbee looks like a mountain of a dude on screen. Probably looks even bigger in person.

Yeah he's definitely huge, I'm 6'3 as it is so he's not too much taller but he's obviously way more built!:ROFLMAO: I was tempted to ask for a picture or autograph but I was working and didn't want to bug him too much.

That's pretty cool man! Higbee seems like a good dude. I feel like he could be a weapon for us this year too!

And btw, welcome! Hope to see you around here more often.

I was working in a liquor store about 15 yrs ago when this big dude comes in. Turns out it was Tommy Bennett. Safety for the Cardinals. All i was thinking was this guy is a SAFETY? I'm not a big dude but i once had dreams of being a WR.
36" vert, really fast, good hands.
Yeah, fuck no. I can't imagine coming across the middle of the field and getting disintegrated by some of these NFL DB's.

Hello basketball.

Very cook dude, I'm excited to see him play this season. While Higbees the subject, anyone know how tall he is? Everything pre-draft says 6'6 but the Rams have him listed at 6'4.

Hello basketball.

Had the same reaction with TJ McDonald, both he and Mo for that matter. They were near the fenceline when we walked in during camp and I told my buddy "I don't know how Tavon does it." Both big boys and not just tall, would not want to be hit by either comin across the middle.

Tyler Higbee is 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds.Lance Kendricks (6'3)looks like a midget standing next to Higbee.
