Getting to know Rams linebacker and NFL hipster Connor Barwin

Alden Gonzalez

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Connor Barwin, the Los Angeles Rams' new outside linebacker, doesn't fit the mold of your stereotypical football player. He is environmentally conscious, prefers getting around on his road bike, loves watching local bands, wears V-neck T-shirts and appreciates a good pourover coffee.

He is, in many ways, a hipster (though hipsters never really admit to being hipsters).

Barwin, who compiled 46 sacks while playing in all 96 regular-season games from 2011 to '16, spent his first four years with the Houston Texans and his next four with the Philadelphia Eagles, who released Barwin after the 2016 season and paved the way for his one-year deal with the Rams in the middle of March. Before all that, he was raised alongside three brothers in Hazel Park, Michigan, just north of Detroit. His parents stressed the need for balance in one's life.

He is hands on with fans and the community. Genuinely cares about both.
