Rams Jared Verse Shares Impact of Aaron Donald Intense Workout Session

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Jared Verse has been heavily influenced by retired Rams legend Aaron Donald through an intense offseason workout regimen. Verse described the grueling workout sessions, which included multiple cardio and core circuits followed by an upper-body routine, as so challenging that he joked about calling the police to escape. Donald emphasized the importance of endurance, particularly focusing on the mindset needed for the 'fourth quarter' of games. Verse's experience with Donald has not only tested his physical limits but also reshaped his approach to training, contributing to his promising second-year development after winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2024. Additionally, Verse praised the Rams' secondary during training camp, highlighting their effective coverage and communication that complements the strong pass rush led by players like him, Byron Young, and Kobie Turner. This combination of veteran mentorship and emerging defensive talent positions the Rams' defense as a key strength for the upcoming NFL season.
