Jared Verse wins NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month

It’s been a very promising start to Jared Verse’s career with the Los Angeles Rams. Though he only has one sack thus far, he’s undoubtedly been one of the best edge rushers in the entire league.

The NFL announced on Thursday that Verse has been named NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month for September. He has 19 total tackles, one sack and a forced fumble, with five of those tackles going for a loss.
