For Ejiro Evero, coaching safeties for the Rams represents a bit of a homecoming. Having grown up in Southern California, he’s glad to be back in the area. But that doesn’t mean he’s sleeping in his childhood bedroom.
“I grew up in SoCal but it was way inland — Rancho Cucamonga ain’t nowhere near the ocean,” Evero said in a recent interview with a laugh.
Still, Evero is glad to be coaching on a staff under defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and headed by Sean McVay. Having known McVay for eight years, Evero said he believes in the head coach and feels like he’s got special coaching abilities.
