Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse thinks he can play a lot better in Year Two
Our Summary
Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse, the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year, is determined to improve after reviewing his performance last season. Despite his accolades, Verse sees numerous big plays he missed and aims to enhance his pass rush, coverage, and run defense. Encouraged by an unnamed veteran, he diligently studied his past performances, focusing on mistakes to refine his skills. With this critical self-assessment, Verse feels more prepared than ever, which bodes well for the Rams but poses a challenge for their opponents in the upcoming season.
