The wide receiver chose to honor the team’s locker room janitor, Alfonso, who he called
ATLANTA — Like all players participating in the Super Bowl, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been crushed with ticket demands from friends, families and even light acquaintances.
“Had to say no to a lot of people,” Cooks said.
Yet he made sure to save two tickets for someone he deemed so inspiring that he wanted to honor him with a gift.

The Rams locker room janitor.
“The guy is special,” Cooks said here Tuesday. “He keeps our locker room in tip-top shape. He has a special soul. He’s someone I just found myself drawn to when I got there. I see him around the facility all the time.”
The janitor’s name is Alfonso.
