Jared Verse, Byron Young Drive Rams’ Pass-Rush Revival Through Week 6

PFF data points to a post-Donald identity centered on edge pressure led by the NFL’s top four-man rush over the past three weeks.

Overview

  • Jared Verse has 31 pressures through six games, the third-most by a second-year player in the PFF era, and he leads the NFL in pressures since the 2024 draft.
  • Verse matched his career high with eight pressures in Week 6, tied for the third-most by any defender in a game this season.
  • Byron Young has produced 7.5 sacks (second in the NFL) and 26 pressures, all when rushing against right tackles, while dropping into coverage on 23% of passing snaps.
  • Los Angeles ranks third in knockdown rate and holds PFF’s best four-man pass-rush grade over the past three weeks, contributing to a 4–2 start.
  • PFF notes Verse’s lower sack conversion despite high pressure and hit totals, as interior contributors Kobie Turner and Poona Ford strengthen the front.
