Years of sorrow hasn't taken everything from Rams CB Nickell Robey-Coleman

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Nickell Robey-Coleman’s personality is infectious.

In the Los Angeles Rams' locker room, he’s among the most welcoming of faces. A stereo sits inside his locker, and many days, he turns it up to provide a soundtrack for the room.

Robey-Coleman’s teammates describe him as their scrappiest player. He’s not only their 5-foot-8, 180-pound nickelback, he’s their hype man. Per usual, the defensive backs will look to him to provide inspirational words before they take the field against the New Orleans Saints in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game.

“He gets us up,” safety John Johnson III said.
