Christian Rozeboom finding his way around a new city, and a new-look linebacker room

Rozeboom started 11 games for the Rams last year and had a career-high 135 tackles, five tackles for loss, four passes defensed, an interception, and a sack. Those numbers indicate the former undrafted rookie from South Dakota State could become more than the special teams player he was cast as in his early years with the Rams.

And if nothing else, he's found a comfort zone here, from finding a new neighbor to fitting in on a team determined to improve on last year's results.

"I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but getting new guys in, especially like veterans, I've been very welcomed in, which is good," Rozeboom said. "The guys all seem like they're on board with what it takes to win, and whoever can help out and whatever role that would be, that's what they're doing. So yeah, it's been good. I've really enjoyed it so far.

"I think it's good to have all three of us. The whole room is great, they're very welcoming to me. And having another guy in there, I think everybody brings their own little piece to the puzzle. Maybe not even football-wise, but just personally and what everybody's into; we come from so many different places, but we're a lot alike at the end of the day.

"I think each guy, that's kind of the beauty of football is each guy comes from wherever it may be, and they come together in that locker room forms, and it's just kind of cool to see those bonds."
