The Rams culture and McVay's inspiring leadership tends to bring the best out in people.

Who knows what the private conversations between the coach and these players might have been?

Ramsey came in with a reputation for being a head case - lived up to it when he started, slugged a player in practice for missiong an assignment. Under McVay he learned to channel that fervor and aggression into playing-coach leadership and mentoring of young players on the field.

We all know Beckham's pre-Ram rep.He swung like a weathervane to became an inspiring team player with the Rams, and his relationship with McVay quickly became a respectful and close one to the point where he felt comfortable crashing McVay's wedding.

Both of these players left as better men than when they arrived. They are two high-profile cases. I have to believe McVay treats all of his players the same way.
