The rookie receiver acknowledges that the cumulative effect of injuries in high school and college had him wondering whether he wanted to continue playing, but he enjoys trying to outlast adversity…
Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington carries the ball during the first day of training camp last week at Loyola Marymount. LOS ANGELES — It’s been about three months now, from the day he was drafted by the Rams to a month of offseason workouts to now, over a week into training camp, but receiver Jordan Whittington still can’t quite shake this feeling.
“I was just like, ‘I don’t know if I want to keep doing that to myself,’” Whittington recalled. “Physically, it wasn’t that hard to come back from but mentally, I was like, ‘Ok.’ Then my stepfather passed away, my grandma, everything was going bad.” So with so much physical pain and mental frustration weighing him down, why did Whittington keep coming back to football?
Jackson did his best to keep Whittington’s workload down, but sometimes the senior took matters into his own hands.
