He leads all NFL rookies in pressures.

He's already claimed an NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month honor and may be due for another in the coming days.

All his sacks have come in prime time, including perhaps his best game yet, a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football.

What's next for Los Angeles Rams first-round draft pick Jared Verse?

Perhaps a few targets on offense.

"In high school I only started one game at defensive end," the former prep tight end said this week on Rams Revealed. "I was like that," he added with a laugh.

Okay, so maybe head coach Sean McVay and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur would consider running Verse out for a red zone sequence. Perhaps as soon as this Sunday, when the Rams visit Seattle in Week 9.

"I've actually been mentioning this like three, four times," the star edge rusher said, a week before his 24th birthday. "I don't need that goal line stuff. I want open field. Let me go out there, let me show them I can route somebody up. If I get locked up, alright we just going to stick with the defense. But you know, just let me get that chance. Let me show you a little bit."

If you caught the Rams' most recent Mic'd Up, featuring the 19th overall selection in this year's NFL Draft, Verse's playful swagger should come as no surprise. Verse is quickly developing a reputation as one of the best trash-talkers and power-pass rushers in the league.

His next test will come against a Seahawks franchise that invited him for a pre-Draft visit, but ultimately selected defensive tackle Byron Murphy three picks ahead of where the Rams landed Verse.
