It was he who fueled my early Rams addiction. Like me, he is from NC and he was my boyhood hero.

Weddle was a great story last year, and a big part of finishing strong to win it all.

There's something weird about how Gabe isn't in the HOF. There are many in who weren't as valuable to their teams, and never won a ring.
Johnnie Johnson (the Original). #1 pick in 1980 and immediately stepped in for the retired Dave Elmendorf.
Johnson had an interception return for a TD against Snake Stabler and Bum Phillips' Saints in the final game of the 1983 season. Rams needed to win in New Orleans to make the playoffs; and did so 26-24 on a final play Mike Lansford FG. Those were the only points scored by the offense. In addition to Johnson's Pick-6, Nolan Cromwell had a Pick-6. Rookie Henry Ellard had a long punt-return for a touchdown, and Jack Youngblood sacked Stabler for a safety.
That was a great Rams' win. The Rams had won a total of eight games the prior two seasons; and were not expected to be a playoff team in 1983. John Robinson was the new Head Coach ... Fritz Shurmur became the Defensive Coordinator and went to a 3-4 ... Eric Dickerson was a rookie.
The next week the Rams went to Dallas and upset the Cowboys in another terrific winning memory.
