Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse's knack for pressuring quarterbacks has garnered league-wide recognition.

Verse on Thursday was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for September, as announced by the league.

According to TruMedia, Verse is tied for 5th in tackles for loss (5) and tied for ninth in QB hurries (12) through the first four weeks of the season. Additionally, he has the sixth-highest pressure rate (defined as total number of pressures divided by total pass rush snaps) in the league at 18%, per the NFL's Next Gen Stats.

Overall, he has 19 total tackles (5 for loss) and 1 sack through his first four games. His tackles are fifth-most among all Rams defensive players, while his 4 QB hits lead the team.

Verse is the sixth Rams rookie to receive Rookie of the Month honors and just the second defensive player to earn the honors, joining Kobie Turner (Dec. 2023).
