St. Louis Rams' defensive end Ethan Westbrooks got a face tattoo to motivate himself to play in the NFL. 

Westbrooks, best known for beating out Michael Sam for a roster spot on the Rams, got the tattoo to avoid working a 'normal' job. 

"I was just like I might as well go ahead and get it on the face because if nothing else, it will help motivate me to either be a guy that has a tattoo on his face looking for another job or hopefully I make it in the NFL and don’t have to work too hard to do something (else)," Westbrooks said, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. 

The undrafted Westbrooks joins one of the deepest defensive lines in the league.
