Rams starting QB Austin Davis admits team security still checks his ID

Austin Davis was a couple spots on the depth chart away from seeing the field before the season started but after injuries to Sam Bradford and Shaun Hill, the undrafted 25-year-old found himself listed as the Rams' starting quarterback.

Fast forward to Week 7 and Davis is completing 18 of 21 passes to lead St. Louis over the reigning Super Bowl champions in his fifth start under center. Still, the Southern Miss product admitted in an interview on The Dan Patrick Show, he has managed to keep his anonymity intact. Despite guiding the Rams to their most competitive stretch of football in some time, Davis has yet to be recognized on the streets of St. Louis.

"Really only at the stadium," said Davis, who enjoys the low profile. "I didn't start playing football to be a superstar or a hero. I just like playing the game, so I'm getting an opportunity to do that and that's really all that matters."

At some point, however, the lack of recognition can become a problem. Like, say, when stadium security doesn't recognize you even though you're the one taking the snaps in front of 70,000 fans at the Edward Jones Dome.

"The guy at the front desk of the facility actually asked me who I was the other day," said Davis after admitting that members of the team's staff still check his ID.
