Former Georgia QB Matt Stafford attracting players to join him in LA

Per Adam Schefter, some of the NFL’s biggest names are looking to join Matt Stafford on the Los Angeles Rams.

Los Angeles has always been an attractive option for big name athletes. But with former No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford now quarterbacking for the Los Angeles Rams, the attraction to play in one of America’s biggest markets has skyrocketed.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Stafford is receiving a lot of interest from some of the NFL’s biggest names, who want to join the former Georgia Bulldog in Los Angeles.

“Shortly after the Rams and Detroit Lions agreed to a trade that would send Stafford out West, the quarterback began receiving texts from players who wanted to come join him in Los Angeles, per sources,” Schefter wrote on Sunday.

Lions free agent wide receiver Marvin Jones is one of those players – and he’s been a favorite target of Stafford for the last five seasons in Detroit.

Over the last five years, Jones has 4,296 receiving yards with the Lions.
