The Rams drafted wide receiver Bud Sasser in the sixth round this year, but waived his rights after determining that a heart condition left him unable to pass the team’s physical.

Before they did that, the Rams signed Sasser and paid him a signing bonus of more than $113,000 which he kept after the team moved on. Sasser’s agent said that his client has been medically cleared to play, but Sasser never caught on with another team this offseason and it appears he’s decided to pursue a different course in professional football.

The Rams announced Tuesday that Sasser will be the team’s External Football Affairs Coordinator. Sasser’s job will entail assisting “with alumni relations, youth football efforts, and community outreach for the organization.”

Sasser played football at the University of Missouri, so community outreach should be a good fit for him and a nice bow to put on his unusual post-draft situation even if we’d imagine he’d rather be on the field catching passes from Nick Foles.
