One of the more impressive rookies of the 2024 season has been Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Jared Verse. Verse leads all rookies this season with 59 pressures and has a pressure rate of 17.5 percent. At -105 odds, FanDuel Sportsbook has Verse as the favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
What’s even more impressive is how Verse stacks up among some of the best pass rushers in the NFL. According to Brandon Thorn of Trench Warfare, 22 of Verse’s pressures are considered high quality which is more than Myles Garrett.
