The top two picks from Florida State have quickly become comfortable, earning praise from teammates and coaches.
Rams defensive end Jared Verse and defensive tackle Braden Fiske work out during organized team activities at the Rams training facility at Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. THOUSAND OAKS – When Byron Young was a rookie last year in his first offseason practices with the Rams, he was constantly questioning whether he belonged.
“I definitely wasn’t like that,” Young said. “I feel like they just caught on real fast to everything. They’re willing to learn and they’re learning. Watching them not make the same mistake, or not even making that mistake in the first place.” Both Verse and Fiske will be relied upon as rookies following the retirement of Aaron Donald. There will likely be some kind of rotation along the defensive front — Verse mixing in with Young and Michael Hoecht, while Fiske alternates with Turner and Bobby Brown – but both the former Seminoles will have to be NFL-ready for the remade Rams defense.“I think the first couple plays, ‘Ok, bet, we’re playing ball again,’” Fiske said. “It’s been solid.
Verse is also going through a position change, from his college spot of defensive end to outside backer in the Rams’ 3-4 scheme. He knew it was a possibility as he prepared for the draft after watching friend and current Raiders OLB Amari Gainer make the same transition. Verse started working on dropbacks and pass coverage during the pre-draft process.But he’s still primarily a pass rusher, and he’s learned that by moving outside he has more options at his disposal.
