Twitter has become - for many - a part of every day life. It’s a place where you can go to express your feelings, share pictures, see breaking news, amongst many other things. It’s also a place you can go to see what your favorite NFL players are up to.
Some players are more active on Twitter. Some tweet back. Some follow back. Some don’t bother signing up, or give up after a while because...well...internet tough guys make it less fun.
But there are many St. Louis Rams’ players who are on Twitter. Some of them show up in style. Some of them show up apparently having no idea what they’ve done, where they’re at, or what they should be doing. Some sign up and then want to know their own password.
Here’s how every Rams’ player made their Twitter debut...

No need to click the 6+ year old link...it’s not there. I’m not even sure Wagoner remembers what was in it, though...

Jeff Fisher climbed 14,115 feet, simply to yell "kiss my ass" at the summit.

Kap first SF QB since Jeff Garcia in 2003 to throw for 4 TD's. @Kaepernick7
— Erickson (@49erholics) December 17, 2012
Garcia used the retweet button prior to posting his own tweet, RT-ing a 49ers’ fan account’s tweet regarding something that hadn’t been done by a San Fran QB in approximately nine years.

— Tre Mason (@TreMason) June 24, 2012
Mason was clearly confused on what needed to be done here. He tweeted an account that didn’t exist. And then he did it again...
@PickleJuiceJin What's my username and password

The Wide Receivers
Everybody Stop what you doing & go follow my main man Tavon Austin @Tayaustin01. This is his new official account. All others are fakes! #RT
— STEDMAN BAILEY SR (@iamSB3) September 24, 2012
Tavon, like Garcia, used the RT button prior to dropping anything original. This time, it was his teammate and friend Stedman Bailey giving him the shout out. Speaking of which...
Goodmorning world!!! Man I just saw the craziest thing on campus. A young lady walkin around with no shoes!! Just str8 feet! Lol wow

And last, but certainly not least, the best follow in Rams’ Nation drops the best debut tweet...
@Ky1eLong Can I get a follow you jerk
— Chris Long (@JOEL9ONE) January 28, 2013
Ok, so some of that was pretty uneventful. A lot of players acted like Ricky Bobby during an interview, not knowing what to do with his hands. If for nothing else, this is a good list of players you can/should follow if you’re a Rams fan.
If you’re on Twitter and not following Chris Long, you’re missing out. He’s amongst the best in all of football.
