The Los Angeles Rams probably made Kyren Williams’ dream come true on Saturday afternoon. Not only did the former Notre Dame running back get drafted, but he was selected by his hometown team in St. Louis.
More specifically, Williams was a huge fan of Steven Jackson when he was younger. After getting drafted by the Rams, Williams told reporters on a conference call that he “grew up at the Edward Jones Dome” watching the team, and he liked Jackson’s game so much, that he dressed up as him for Halloween.

The Rams then shared an adorable photo of a much younger Kyren Williams with Jackson. Williams’ tweet calls Jackson one of the best to ever play, and the youngster never missed a chance to watch the running back take the field in St. Louis.
It doesn’t get much better than this.
