From 1978 to 1991 the RAMS played in 16 play-off games.

Here are a couple more;
* LB - Hugh Pitts - 1956

All I could find was this College Photo!
He only played in 9 games for the Rams, but he had 3 INT's for 21 Yds. w/ a Long of 16 Yds. and 1 FR.

And our newest, bright star!
* LB - Akeem Ayers - 2015-Present

He may have just joined us last year, But he's looking pretty good so far ..

He's had 5 passes defended / 1 FF / 3 FR's for 45 Yds. and a TD. / 0.5 sack / and 35 TKL's w/ 12 Assists.

I say he could have a bright future, IF he keeps it up!!

Here's a good breakdown of Akeem Ayers' TD at Seattle in 2015.


Also, Art Hunter is a pretty cool name, imo. It sounds like a username on Pinterest or tumblr.
