Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones was introduced to the sport of golf by his teammates. It did not take love for him to get addicted. In an interview with the “We Love LA” show, he talked about his love of the sport and why it brings him so much joy.

Los Angeles Rams Ernest Jones On The Sport Of Golf

He took up the sport in February of last year and thought it would be simple. He learned the hard truth but kept at it. “It’s been an addiction ever since,” he said during the interview. Jones talked about how the golf course is a great place to get away from all of the chaos that the sport of football thrives on. “When you’re golfing you don’t think about [football] practice, you just focus on the shot and relax,” Jones said. “It gives me a way to get away from the chaos of football.” Jones is taking advantage of the last weeks before football season kicks into high gear.

Rams Expectations For 2023

The Rams are in an interesting spot. They still have Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, and Matthew Stafford but a lot of other key pieces have been let go including Jalen Ramsey. Ernest Jones and many of the other young defenders will need to step up if the Rams are going to be competitive. If some of the young players overperform, this might be a team that surprises people. Most people agree that they should be tanking for one of the top quarterback prospects but that doesn’t seem to be in Sean McVay’s blood.

The Los Angeles Rams will need a lot to go right for a successful season. They went all-in for a Super Bowl. They got it but now they are paying the price for going all-in.
