The Rams' young defensive standouts in rookie Jared Verse and Braden Fiske are drawing the Eagles' attention.Johnny Wilson, the Eagles sixth-round rookie out of Florida State, isn’t the type to trash talk an opponent, especially not in practice. However, last season in college, his teammate Jared Verse elicited the fiery side in him.
Still, Verse is turning heads. He’s a contender for defensive rookie of the year, amassing 50 pressures, 4½ sacks, 14 quarterback hits, 42 tackles , and two forced fumbles in 10 games as a starter. Fiske, a defensive tackle, is right up there with him on the stat sheet with 28 pressures, five sacks, five quarterback hits, 29 tackles , and two forced fumbles in 10 games .
When speaking about Verse initially, Mailata referred to him as a second-year player. A reminder of Verse’s level of NFL experience elicited a sense of shock from the 27-year-old left tackle:“When you watch the film, it’s clear that he’s very technical in his moves,” Mailata said. “He kind of likes to go to the bull rush and then you see him with a little club chop, chop-down, try to get the tackle to bend over and then swim around.
