Jared Verse wasn’t one of PFF’s five-highest graded players on the Rams defense this week, but that doesn’t mean that Verse wasn’t one of the best five defenders in the entire NFL in Week 7. According to Next Gen Stats, Verse’s pass rush presence in L.A.’s win over the Raiders wasn’t just good for a player on the Rams, or good for a rookie, but dominant among all edge rushers in the NFL.
Verse, who has the fourth-highest pass rusher win rate (27%) of ALL players this season, not just rookies, according to ESPN, had nine pressures in Week 7.
