Puka Nacua says LA’s celebrity culture helps take pressure off Rams players
Puka Nacua says the Rams' Valley location keeps players away from the city's busiest areas.
Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua believes that the constant celebrity attention in Los Angeles can actually help the team handle the pressure of NFL play. Speaking on Impaulsive with Logan Paul, Nacua explained that the team's location in the valley means they are not in the heart of the city's entertainment scene. "We’re not in West Hollywood, we’re not in downtown," Nacua said.
The city's endless stream of entertainment provides countless alternatives to football-related attention, which can give players some breathing room after big games. "You go out and have the best game on Sunday, you go out and score two touchdowns, beat the Buffalo Bills or whoever it is," Nacua said. "And it’s like, oh, everybody forgot really about what we did."
Even if the Rams face intense scrutiny, the city's diverse attractions can help them maintain focus throughout a long season. Nacua sees distraction as an advantage for the team, as there is so much else going on in LA that players can do without every personal appearance becoming a major football story.
