Welcome to Sports Spectrum, the Sports and Faith podcast that brings Jesus back into the conversation.

Here's your host, Jason Romano.

Welcome, everyone, to the Sports Spectrum podcast.

Special edition from Super Bowl 53 here in Atlanta.

I am Jason Romano.

And over these past few days, we've been able to visit with different members of the Patriots

and the Rams as they get ready for the big game on Sunday.

My colleague, John Ackerman and I have been able to travel to the team hotels for both

teams on Thursday, and we were able to talk with a few of the players.

We want to bring those conversations to you here on the podcast.

So first up is the Los Angeles Rams, the NFC champions. We got a chance to talk to a few

of the players, including Brandon Cooks, the wide receiver from the Rams, and we'll start it off

with our interview with Brandon. Take a listen. Brandon, tell me about your faith and it's so important

to you. You're unashamed. You don't care, you're going to share it.

Tell me about Jesus and why he's so vital to you in your life, even as a football

player.

Well, just in life in general, I'm, first of all, just, thank you.

Blessing and fortunate to play this game, and he's given me such an amazing gift to play

it at a high level,

be on this platform.

But at the end of the day, you talk about where I've come from and where he's brought me from.

You know, just like we all know, we're born sinners.
