This is a thread to find out whatever happened to players/coaches/GM's or anyone else associated with the Rams in the past. I'll kick things off with Jason Brown.

Former NFL center Jason Brown does something truly sweet

Once upon a time, Jason Brown was the highest-paid center in the NFL.
Now, he’s doing something even more rewarding.
Via Aaron Moody of the Raleigh News and Observer, the former Ravens and Rams center became a farmer after he retired, and is turning over his harvest to his local community.
Brown struck it rich in football when he signed a five-year, $37.5 million deal with the Rams in free agency in 2009. When he retired after being released in 2012, he bought a 1,000-acre farm near Louisburg, N.C., and he began giving away crops from his First Fruits Farm to local charities.
The University of North Carolina product just had 40,000 pounds of sweet potatoes unloaded near campus, donating his entire crop to area food pantries and shelters.

Former NFL star dumped 20 tons of sweet potatoes on a Chapel Hill lawn – with good intent
BY AARON MOODY
It wasn’t too long ago that Jason Brown had a multimillion-dollar contract to play as a center in the NFL.
So some might find it odd that the North Carolina native and former UNC standout had 40,000 pounds of sweet potatoes dumped on a lawn next to the Chapel Hill campus, as tweets from the university showed Saturday morning.

The explanation: Brown walked away from professional football in 2012 because he wanted to feed the hungry. He bought a thousand-acre farm near Louisburg, and in 2014 his First Fruits Farm made its first donation of sweet potatoes – giving away the entire crop to area food pantries and shelters.
