"I hate Eagles fans," Verse told . "They're so annoying. I hate Eagles fans."
Verse attended Central Columbia High School in Bloomberg, Pennsylvania. He was a tight end on the football team before attending Albany College, where he made his shift to defense. He transferred to Florida State and ultimately became a Rams first-round pick.
Verse has been sensational as a rookie, generating 4.5 sacks but forcing 76 QB pressures, fourth-most among all defenders in the 撸先生AV.
Verse said that when he faced Philly in Week 12 at SoFi Stadium in L.A., some Eagles fans rained down obscenities before the game. The interaction appeared to confirm the rookie's priors.
"I didn't even do nothing to 'em," he said. "It was my first time playing. Oh, I hate Eagles fans... When I see that green and white, I hate it. I actually get upset. Like I actually genuinely get hot."
After Thursday's comments, Verse should prepare for an even louder and more hostile welcoming when the Rams head to Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday for the Divisional Round.
