The Facts:
Expectations for Austin's rookie season with the St. Louis Rams are Rookie-of-the-Year high. With that in mind, it's positive to hear the wide receiver tell NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano, in an interview that will air on Friday's "NFL Total Access," that he already has a rapport with quarterback Sam Bradford. "He looked for me a lot at practice," Austin said. "He definitely believes in me and I definitely feel good about myself. He kind of talked to me, let me know the things I'm doing good, the things I'm doing bad as far as landmarks, if I should have kept the corner high or should I bend it off. I definitely believe he got a lot of trust in me and I got trust in him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Austin went on to stress he isn't the only "new toy" that Bradford has. "I can say I'm one of his new toys," Austin said. "Me and Jared (Cook) and Stedman (Bailey) probably one of the new toys that came to the family. I just hope that my number gets called a lot and then at the end of the season he can really say I was one of his toys. ..." We'll suggest he might be the most interesting though. ... As NFL.com's Kevin Patra notes, the Rams have the need and Austin has the talent. It will be interesting when training camp opens and we can all gain a better feel for how Bradford likes the new toys.
