Former Florida State defensive end and current Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse won the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year tonight during the annual NFL Honors.
Verse beat out former FSU teammate and fellow Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Braden Fiske, Miami Dolphins defensive end Chop Robinson, Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell. He joins Peter Boulware in (1997, Baltimore Ravens) as the only other Florida State player to win the award.
The Rams selected the former Florida State All-American with the 19th pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, becoming the third edge off of the board.
