"That's one of the best players to ever live. But to be able to be in the position where they expect me to be able to come in there and be able to fill that role, that's something I'm ready for." The 23-year-old Verse started his career at FCS-level Albany, where he worked delivery jobs to help finance his education.
"I asked him a couple questions that actually helped me elevate my game," Verse said. "He said you don't need a huge arsenal of moves. If you have a couple of good moves and execute them to the highest level of your ability, you will destroy everyone." Verse, who is 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds, is confident the energy and emotion he will bring can help offset the absence of Donald.
The Rams included their 2017 selection in the deal with Tennessee that allowed them to take Goff. The next year, Los Angeles sent its top pick to New England to acquire wide receiver Brandin Cooks. The Rams traded out of the first round in 2019, moving back in a deal with Atlanta.
