  • Notches 7.5 sacks in Year 2

    Verse recorded 58 tackles (35 solo), including 7.5 sacks, a pass defensed and three forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    Analysis: The second verse was nearly identical to the first for the 2024 first-round pick for the Rams, as his tackles decreased by six year-to-year, but he recorded 3.0 additional sacks and one more forced fumble while operating as half of a dominant duo alongside Byron Young. Verse's play was rewarded with a selection as a 2026 NFL Pro Bowler alongside Young, and Verse should continue his ascension towards being one of the top linebackers in the NFL in his third season.

  • Vital cog on defense as rookie

    Verse recorded 66 tackles (36 solo), including 4.5 sacks, two passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries during the 2024 regular season.

    Analysis: The Rams' first-round pick more than lived up to expectations during his rookie campaign by constantly applying pressure to opposing quarterbacks, recording a sack in his very first game and bookending the year with a pair of sacks of Jalen Hurts in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Eagles. A strong candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year, Verse and fellow outside linebacker Byron Young will anchor the outside linebacker roles for the Rams in 2025.
