If Jared Verse is as good as so many opponents say he is, then the Los Angeles Rams deserve to be higher in PFF’s defensive line rankings. The Rams checked in at ninth on the list, perhaps unfairly situated behind the Broncos, Browns, and Lions.
Even though PFF says that their own rankings have three of L.A.’s defensive linemen ranked in the top-7 last season — including Verse, Braden Fiske, and Poona Ford — they couldn’t do better than ninth overall?
Many expected the Rams’ defensive line to fall off following Aaron Donald‘s retirement, but the unit has remained above average thanks to its young players, including a pair of impactful rookies.
