Gary Klein covers the Los Angeles Rams for the Los Angeles Times.
Jared Verse spent three years of high school in Pennsylvania. So the Rams rookie edge rusher knows all about the Philadelphia Eagles, his team’s opponent Sunday in an NFC divisional-round playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field. Was Verse an Eagles fan? “I hate Eagles fans,” Verse told The Times on Thursday. “They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans.” Verse repeated the phrase multiple times.
” In the seven games since, Verse said he has improved in that regard. In last Monday’s 27-9 wild-card victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the 6-foot-4, 260-pound Verse showed how fleet he is on his feet. The former high school sprinter scooped a fumble by quarterback Sam Darnold and dashed 57 yards for a touchdown. NFL’s Next Gen Stats clocked Verse at 19.88 mph “I’ve been trying to show coach McVay that I can play wide receiver or running back — whatever he needs me to do,” Verse said.
