Former UL Star Raymond Calais has Big Special Teams Day for Rams

A former Louisiana Ragin' Cajun football star had another solid afternoon in NFL action on Sunday, as he continues to impress on special teams in the early portion of his career.

Running back/kick returner Raymond Calais, who made his professional debut for the Los Angeles Rams, in a 35-32 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3, had the best day of his young career on Sunday, including his longest kick return to date, impressing a few Rams fans in the process.

Calais, who saw action on special teams, was able to return two kickoffs for 55 yards, including one for 41 yards in the Rams' 14-9 win over the New York Giants in Week 4 of the 2020 NFL campaign.

As you would expect, Rams fans were impressed.

With the triumph, the Rams improved to 3-1 on the still-young 2020 NFL season.
