Looking through the long history of the franchise, here is the Los Angeles Rams’ all-time Mount Rushmore.
After a shade over a two-decade run in St. Louis, the Rams became the Los Angeles Rams again in 2016. They are set to move into a brand-new stadium for the 2020 season, and with new uniforms unveiled it’s a fresh era for the franchise.
The Rams started out in Cleveland from 1936-1945, when they won the NFL championship then moved to Los Angeles. From 1946 through the 1994 campaign, the Rams were Los Angeles’ constant NFL team as the Raiders moved there from Oakland in 1982 and eventually left themselves after the 1994 season to go back north. From 1995-2015, St. Louis was home for the Rams.
From “The Fearsome Foursome” era to the run as “The Greatest Show on Turf” in St. Louis, in-between and/or since, here is the all-time Mount Rushmore for the Los Angeles Rams’ franchise.
But first, in no particular order, here is a list of honorable mentions for the Rams’ Mount Rushmore.
