Picking the best players in NFL history to go on Mount Rushmore is difficult enough, but narrowing down the list of the all-time greatest athletes is an even bigger challenge. That’s exactly what the Rams had their rookies do, asking them to build their Mount Rushmore of sports.

First-year players such as Ernest Jones, Jacob Harris, Jake Funk, Ben Skowronek, Earnest Brown IV, Troy Warner and Robert Rochell made their picks in the video below, ranging from Randy Moss to Michael Jordan to Ronaldinho.

A couple of rookies bought themselves some brownie points, too, by mentioning Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey and Sean McVay. And for those keeping track of the MJ vs. LeBron James debate, 11 rookies picked Jordan and eight picked LeBron.

Among the other athletes who were picked by the Rams’ rookies were Usain Bolt, Steve Young, Ray Lewis, Calvin Johnson and Jerry Rice.
