Even Rams security didn't recognize quarterback Austin Davis

The St. Louis Rams employed all manner of trickeration to fake out the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Apparently, they're so good at this deception that they even fool their own employees.

"The guy at the front desk at the facility here actually asked who I was the other day," Davis said. "It was pretty good."


When asked why he doesn't just wear his jersey around, Davis answered earnestly, "I can't do that. It's too big without my pads on."

Davis also noted that he had no idea that the infamous fake punt was coming; his back had been turned at the time and then he realized he would be heading back into the game. All part of the deception, apparently.


Davis has played competently enough for the Rams, throwing nine TDs against four interceptions. Even though St. Louis has pretty much zero hope in the NFC West, chances are Davis won't go unrecognized that much longer.
