Former Florida State star defensive end Jared Verse was a menace to opposing offenses during his two years at FSU and was known for his boisterous attitude, with the skillset to back it up. A first-team All-American in 2023, he finished his collegiate career with the Seminoles, earning numerous awards, and recorded 70 tackles, 21 for a loss, 13 sacks, three pass deflections, two blocked kicks, and two fumble recoveries.

He was drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the LA Rams with the No. 19 overall pick and he has hit the ground running, carrying his combination of strength and power to the next level.

The LA Rams and the Dallas Cowboys have been holding joint practices ahead of their preseason matchup this weekend and things are already getting heated as skirmishes erupted between the two teams.

A recent viral video of Verse (8) and what appears to be Cowboys offensive tackle Asim Richards (76) competing in a pass-rush drill was released and it looked like the 6'4'', 260-pound, Dayton, OH native knocks Richards into the next century and potentially off the roster.

Verse has landed on numerous lists for the 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year and took the top spot on NFL.com's preseason projections. He, alongside former Seminole Braden Fiske, was selected in last year's NFL Draft to help mitigate the loss of future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

Watch for Verse and the Rams as they are slated to face-off against the Cowboys for their first preseason game on Aug. 11 at 4:30 p.m. ET.
