THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Nelson Spruce laughs at the realization he’s just another one of those millennials who moved back in with his parents after college.

The Los Angeles Rams’ rookie receiver is simply taking advantage of convenient geography while he tries to get started in his dream career.

“It’s been like I’m back in high school,” Spruce said. “I wake up in the morning, say goodbye to my parents and drive over here. Go home, get home-cooked meals. It’s been kind of surreal.”

Spruce grew up in Westlake Village, California, a few minutes from the Rams’ brand-new headquarters in the far-flung LA suburbs.
