On the “inducted as a Ram” part, remember, this isn’t baseball where the plaque has a team’s logo on the hat. The NFL Hall of Fame honors players with a bust of their head. No hat, helmet, or any indicator of a team. So technically the “Inducted as a ______” doesn’t apply for football the way it does for baseball. Nonetheless, fans think differently, and sometimes players will say they want to be inducted as a member of one team as opposed to another. I’m also curious where he and his family will continue to live. Personally I think LA is overrated as hell (big mega cities are not my thing) and Cincy or Louisiana would be nicer, but not my decision.
But yeah, in conclusion, even though he spent far more time here, I really feel most will remember him as a Ram first and not a Bengal. Winning a ring, big market bias, etc.
