Shahid Khan is all set to strike a mega deal to become the new owner of the NFL (American) football team St. Loius Rams

Rams owners Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez have entered into a signed agreement to sell the team to Shahid Khan, multiple NFL sources told the Post-Dispatch late Wednesday night. Khan, 55, is the president of Flex-N-Gate Corp., an auto-parts manufacturer based in Urbana, Ill. Khan has lived in the Champaign-Urbana area for more than 40 years and is married with two adult children. Khan is a graduate of the School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Illinois.

Shahid Khan’s rise from immigrant student to wealthy entrepreneur to prospective new owner of the St. Louis Rams began with an automobile bumper. Khan, a native of Pakistan, came to the U.S. in 1967, at age 16, to attend college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
