Former, Current USC Football Players React To Rams LA Return

Former and current USC football players took to Twitter to react to the return of the Rams, and the NFL, to Los Angeles.

Rams safety T.J. McDonald, who is the lone Trojan on the St. Louis roster, tweeted a thank you message to the city which has been his home since 2013.

Thank you St. Louis for welcoming me into the NFL. I will forever be grateful for your support.

McDonald also took the time to retweet a message from USC fans welcoming him back to southern California.
