RAMS ROOKIS IS SATISFIED with his POSITION

St. Louis Rams rookie wideout-returner Mardy Gilyard keeps a snapshot in his wallet of the green 2002 Pontiac Grand Am that helped deliver him to the NFL and has his own mlb jerseys china .
Talk about a hurt locker. Gilyard lived in one, spending long, cold nights in the borrowed car, sometimes sleeping in the driver's seat during a six-and-a-half-month stretch in 2006. That humbling reality check helped transform an immature former University of Cincinnati defensive back without a roof over his head into a hardworking, potential home run-hitting NFL playmaker.

Gilyard had his scholarship revoked after his freshman season for academic reasons and worked four jobs to pay back the five-figure debt he owed the school. He could have dropped out and turned his back on his obligations. But Gilyard kicked hard and surfaced with a vengeance. "You can say I came to the Rams from the green Grand Am instead of the green room," Gilyard said with a prideful laugh.
