The Los Angeles Rams pay a funny tribute to the movie Friday in a draft-teasing post on social media.

The Los Angeles Rams are bringing some serious Hollywood flair to the NFL offseason. In a brilliant move to hype up the upcoming draft, the team's social media team dropped a hilarious parody paying homage to the iconic 1995 comedy "Friday."

For those who know the classic scene, the Rams recreated the moment Craig and Smokey get confronted by the neighborhood bully, Deebo. But with a twist fit for SoFi Stadium, they cast the sons of the original stars—O’Shea Jackson Jr. (son of Ice Cube) and Destin Tucker (son of Chris Tucker)—to play the roles of Craig Jr. and Smokey Jr.

The genius casting doesn't stop there. Playing the intimidating Deebo is none other than actor and former NFL linebacker Terry Crews, who adds a perfect layer of authenticity. A fun fact for draft historians: Crews was actually selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the 11th round of the 1991 NFL Draft.

The video, which also features cameos from current Rams players, is a masterclass in blending pop culture with football fandom. It’s a clever and engaging way for the organization to connect with fans as they build momentum toward a new season where they are once again considered Super Bowl contenders.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with praise flooding in from both Rams Nation and movie fans alike. It’s a reminder that as the draft approaches, the Rams are not just building a roster—they’re having fun and creating memorable moments along the way.
