Did Sean McVay play football? Rams HC's college career explored

Sean McVay became the youngest NFL head coach to win a Super Bowl when he led the Los Angeles Rams to the championship in 2022. He played college football but didn't continue playing in the big league as his attention turned toward coaching.

McVay played college football with the Miami Redhawks as a receiver for three years. He joined Miami University in 2004 but didn't play for the team in his first year.

In the 2005 season, McVay made six appearances for the Redhawks. He made just one catch for six yards.

During the 2006 season, McVay featured in 12 games for Miami. The wideout recorded 198 yards on 20 receptions but didn't score any touchdowns.

In his final season with the Redhawks, McVay posted 108 yards on 18 catches across eight games. He also rushed for 23 yards on three attempts and earned Miami's Scholar-Athlete Award in 2007.

Notably, McVay changed his position on the gridiron when he went to college. He previously played as a quarterback and a defensive back across four years at Marist School.
