Cardinals

Rams

Rams rookie pass rusher Jared Verse was under the impression that the team was going to cut him when HC Sean McVay tried to reach out to him several times to let him know he had made the Pro Bowl in his first season.

“I thought I was getting fired,” Verse told reporters, via Pro Football Talk. “I took a nap after practice and I got three calls from Coach McVay. I’m like, ‘I’m getting fired. Oh my God.’ I didn’t know what I did. I thought I was doing pretty good. He’s like, ‘You made the Pro Bowl.’ It was really surreal though. It felt amazing. Relief was first though, but it felt good.”

“I called my dad because my mom doesn’t answer half the time,” Verse added. “I called my dad. He’s like, ‘I’m with your mom right now.’ I’m like, ‘I made it.’ They started freaking out. I was like, ‘I’m going to call you later. You all are yelling too much.’”
