Los Angeles Rams forward Conor McDermott had an important item stolen from him recently – his team-supplied iPad was taken from his car… and now the police are investigating the matter.
TMZ Sports discovered… the 31-year-old former UCLA Bruin’s vehicle was in a residential area when his digital manual was stolen.
No arrests have been made, but the LAPD is working to track down the culprit.
Of course, it’s a bummer for McDermott – not just because of the monetary value, but because of the tablet’s contents.
Teams hand out electronics to players to study during game days… and plays and game/practice footage are often sent to them.
But whoever picked up the tablet won’t know all of the Rams’ secrets… because, given Apple’s technology, anyone can remotely wipe their devices if a situation like this were to arise.
Conor McDermott. GREAT MAN TOUCH! @ConorMcD68 #TakeFlight

McDermott – a sixth-round pick in 2017 – played for the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and New England Patriots before joining Los Angeles this offseason.
He had a famous one-yard touchdown in 2021… the only reception of his career.
It’s another tough time for Los Angeles – the team is currently 1-4 on the season…but is currently on an off week.
