Josh Love probably dreamed about making it to the NFL one day, and after a decorated career at San Jose State, he’s reached the pinnacle of the sport. Love signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 draft, landing in a spot where he could compete to back up Jared Goff.
Playing for the Rams was likely part of the dream Love had, considering he’s been a fan of the team since he was little.
Love shared a childhood photo on Twitter this week, which showed him sitting at the top of a bunk bed with a St. Louis Rams pennant on the wall and a Dodgers hat hanging over the railing.

Love grew up in Mission Viejo, Calif., and went to high school in Long Beach. He stayed out west for college at San Jose State, where he put up huge numbers in 2019: 3,923 yards, 22 touchdown passes, eight interceptions.
That level of success came after he walked onto the football team at San Jose State and earned a scholarship after redshirting his freshman year. Being an undrafted free agent, Love is still a long shot to stick with the Rams in 2020, but he has to be thrilled about even making it this far.
