Jared Verse made the Pro Bowl on Thursday, an engagement the Los Angeles Rams rookie outside linebacker hopes to avoid with a lengthy playoff run.

Before Los Angeles Rams rookie Jared Verse learned he made his first career Pro Bowl, he was plagued with worry. He had woken up from a nap, only to see he missed three calls from head coach Sean McVay.

Jared Verse has had a standout rookie campaign, and the Rams edge rusher was recognized for his efforts by being voted into the Pro Bowl Games.

The first-round draft pick, who has not been shy about his lofty career goals, has 4½ sacks and 75 total quarterback pressures while improving against the run and in coverage through 16 games.

It’s never a good feeling when you wake up to three missed calls from your boss. Just ask Jared Verse. The Los Angeles Rams’ standout edge rusher panicked this week when he took a nap after practice and woke up to three calls from Sean McVay.
