The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl last season. Despite their players performing exceptionally well throughout the season, their head coach Sean McVay also deserves some credit for their success. He has transformed himself into one of the best head coaches at such a young age. He recently appeared on the Rich Eisen Show, and he shared his unexpected encounter with Bobby Wagner during the offseason.

Bobby Wagner is the newest addition to the LA Rams, and he filled the void left by Von Miller. Von was a crucial part of the Rams’ defense last year but he signed for the Buffalo Bills recently. As a result, the Rams acquired the former Seahawk Wagner to keep them in contention for the Super Bowl once again.
