LOS ANGELES • Eric Dickerson can’t wait to take his two youngest children to their first Los Angeles Rams game this fall alongside the same fans who cheered him to the greatest single-season rushing performance in NFL history.
And if the current Rams need advice on the tricky transition from Missouri to Southern California, the Hall of Fame running back has plenty.
“You’re not in St. Louis anymore,” Dickerson said with a laugh. “For all you young guys: It’s different. This is Hollywood.”
Dickerson and former quarterback Jim Everett know all about the challenges and opportunities presented to professional athletes in Los Angeles, and they say the attention will be magnified during the Rams’ high-profile return season after 21 years away.
