After heading east to Missouri after the 1994 season, the Rams are moving back to Los Angeles. Here are the 10 best players from the Rams’ 21-season run in St. Louis.

Lyght spent six of his 10 seasons with the Rams' organization in St. Louis, with 24 interceptions over that span, highlighted by earning a Pro Bowl selection during the 1999 season.

Laurinaitis has started every game in his seven seasons with the Rams, with more than 100 total tackles each season. As the team moves to Los Angeles, Laurnaitis is a reliable building block for what has been a solid defense.
8. DB Aeneas Williams

Williams played the final four seasons (2001-04) of his Hall of Fame career in St. Louis, highlighted by two Pro Bowl selections (one at cornerback and one at safety).
7. QB Marc Bulger

I'll bet you didn't know Bulger was second in Rams franchise history in passing yards (22,814 yards), highlighted by three seasons with over 3,800 passing yards and two Pro Bowl nods (2003 and 2006). Perception of Bulger suffers due to durability (one season starting all 16 games) and following Kurt Warner, but he deserves a spot on this list.
6. QB Kurt Warner

Warner went from no-name to the pilot of the "Greatest Show On Turf" over a three-season stretch, and he was MVP of the Rams' win in Super Bowl XXXIV. If not for a preseason injury to Trent Green in 1999, it's possible Warner would have remained an anonymous backup quarterback.
5. RB Steven Jackson

Jackson had eight straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons with the Rams (2005-12), and he is the all-time leading rusher in franchise history with 10,138 yards. A lack of team success obscures how good Jackson was, and he is one of the most underrated players of his era.
4. OT Orlando Pace

Pace was drafted No. 1 overall by the Rams in 1997, with seven straight Pro Bowl selections (1999-2005) over 12 seasons with the team. In his prime, Pace was one of the best left tackles in the NFL.
3. WR Torry Holt

Holt earned seven Pro Bowl selections in 10 seasons with the Rams (1999-2008), and he led the league in receiving yards twice (2000 and 2003). He also had more than 80 receptions and over 1,100 receiving yards in eight straight seasons (2000-07), and Holt is second in Rams franchise history in both receptions (869) and yards (12,660).
2. WR Isaac Bruce

Bruce spent his rookie season with the Rams in Los Angeles, before a breakout season (119 receptions for 1,781 yards and 13 touchdowns) in 1995. Injuries derailed him at times, but it's easy to overlook that Bruce is ninth in league history in receptions (1,024) and fourth in receiving yards (15,208).
1. RB Marshall Faulk

Faulk was a pass-catching running back before it was cool to be one, including four straight 80-plus catch seasons with the Rams from 1999-2002. His decline came fast, as he approached and crossed 30 years old, but Faulk was arguably the best running back in the NFL during his prime and his best seasons came in St. Louis with the Rams.
