The Los Angeles Rams have an extraordinary spot in pro athletics as one of the best drifter establishments ever.
The Rams have bobbed between the Midwest and the West Coast for just about 90 years, starting life as the Cleveland Rams prior to moving to Los Angeles in 1946, then, at that point, to St. Louis in 1995, and back to Los Angeles in 2015.
En route, they accomplished something different that is really amazing. The Rams are the main NFL establishment to bring home a big showdown in three unique urban communities, with NFL titles in Cleveland and Los Angeles and Super Bowl wins in St. Louis and Los Angeles.
You don’t bring home titles — regardless of what time you’re in — without a few generational players. However, which ones are the genuine best of the best? We needed to investigate 80 years of renowned history to find the 10 greatest champions in Rams history.
