Jared Verse has been the Defensive Rookie of the Year in the first half of the season and the Rams didn’t even need a top-15 pick to get him.
Rams rookie Jared Verse has been a terror going through & around guys. He’s currently:
7th in pressures
3rd/126 edges in pass rush productivity
T-11th/118 edges in run stops
T-42nd/118 edges in run stop %
