In between meetings, practices and walk-throughs, Cory Littleton dashes home for lunch breaks.
The Los Angeles Rams inside linebacker -- the team's leading tackler -- lives five minutes from the team's practice facility. That's just close enough to sneak in a few extra minutes with his longtime girlfriend Blime Macias and their two young kids, Nailah and C.J., who will soon be waking up from their naps.
"I know where he's going but I always kind of turn a blind eye," Rams linebackers coach Joe Barry said, smiling. "I'm just like, 'Make it back in time' and he has for three years and I don't even worry about it because he's got so much pride he would never put himself in a situation to miss something or be late.
