    All Rookie Team

    I can’t mount the effort required to format this article so it will appear properly here, so there’s the link, if you’re interested.

    TL;DR: 4 Rams on the defense. Verse, Fiske, Speights, Kinchens.

    from https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-all-rookie-team-cbs-sports-unveils-leagues-best-first-year-players/

    Jared Verse
    LAR • LB • #8
    TKL 65
    SACK 4.5
    PRSR 74

    Verse leads all rookies in pressures, and it’s not that close. Robinson is next on the list, and he’s TWENTY-TWO pressures behind. He’s fourth in total pressures, with only Myles Garrett, Jonathan Greenard and Trey Hendrickson ahead of him. His overall pressure rate of 16.7% is sixth in the NFL, via TruMedia, out of the 164 players who have rushed the passer 200 times or more. But he’s also not just been a pass rusher; he has 11 tackles for loss and his 34 run stops, per PFF, are more than twice as many as the next-closest rookie.

    Braden Fiske
    LAR • DT • #55
    TKL 43
    SACK 8
    PRSR 48

    If it weren’t for Verse, Fiske would be getting a lot more attention. And Fiske actually has more sacks than Verse despite the fact that he plays on the interior while Verse works off the edge more often. His 48 pressures are more than twice as many as the next-closest interior rookie (Sweat) and his 26 run stops are almost most among that group.

    Omar Speights
    LAR • LB • #48
    TKL 64
    TFL 2

    Oh look, it’s another Rams rookie. L.A. felt so strongly about Speights that it move on from a former captain in Ernest Jones IV before the season even started, and once Speights entered the lineup in the wake of Troy Reeder’s injury, he has rewarded their faith with some really solid play.

    Kamren Kinchens
    LAR • SAF • #26
    TKL 53
    INT 4
    PDEF 6
    QBRTG 78.5

    If I was going to debase myself and put two Florida State players on this team, then I had to at least make up for it by putting my guy from The U on here. That said, Kinchens clearly deserves it based on his play. His two-interception game against the Seahawks, including a pick six, was his announcement to the world that he’s a force in the secondary. While Verse and Fiske wreak havoc up front, he cleans things up on the back end. Considering that he led the ACC in interceptions as both a sophomore and junior at Miami, we probably should have seen this coming.

    How did Kyren Williams not make the Pro Bowl?

    if the rams win another superbowl in the next four years, i think we’ll all look at this year’s draft and the year prior as the catalyst. they have to be ranked among the better drafts in the past twenty years.

    my guess is williams’ lack of impact in the receiving game? although i gotta say that the rams winning the division and only having one pro bowler is ridiculous.

    I think it’s because he doesn’t make any electric plays. No highlight reel, ohmigod stuff.
