Before Los Angeles Rams rookie Jared Verse learned he made his first career Pro Bowl, he was plagued with worry. He had woken up from a nap, only to see he missed three calls from head coach Sean McVay. Immediately, Verse feared the worst—that he was getting cut.
"I took a nap after practice and I got three calls with Coach McVay. I'm like 'oh s---, I'm getting fired,'" Verse recalled on Thursday. "Oh my God. I don't know what I did, I thought I was doing pretty good. I called him, he's like, 'yeah, you made the Pro Bowl.' It was really surreal though, it felt amazing. Relief was first though, but it felt good."
