Los Angeles Rams drafted three instant impact stars who are set to debut this week at NFL Rookie Minicamp

The 2024 NFL Draft is behind us. The NFL offseason is now in full swing. Next up: Rookie Minicamps. Several NFL teams have already met for their minicamps in the last week. The Los Angeles Rams will be welcoming all of their draft picks, undrafted free agent signings, and camp invite players for their rookie minicamp this week!

Rookie Minicamp activities for the Rams will start May 10th and conclude on the 11th. This is a great opportunity for each and every incoming rookie to make their presence known, proving to the team that they're ready to make an instant impact in year one for the team.

Let's dive into some of the new players who will be making their first appearance at rookie minicamp and could be primed to break out this season for the Rams!

Jared Verse, EDGE Florida State

The Rams had a clear need at edge rusher coming into the NFL Draft so it made perfect sense to select Jared Verse. Byron Young and Michael Hoecht are a decent second and third best edge rusher combination, but Verse should pull extra defensive attention on every snap. He posted a pass rush pressure rate just shy of 20% last season, which was good for second in the entire 2024 NFL Draft class behind only Laiatu Latu.

Verse is not just an incredibly efficient pass rusher. He's also an amazing story. He went from zero star recruit with virtually no interest from college football programs, to Albany (an FCS school), to star edge rusher for 13-0 Florida State, to first round NFL Draft pick. And he was the only player selected in the first round of this NFL Draft class with a story anywhere near that kind of long shot odds at success. Verse should immediately become a fan favorite this fall.

Braden Fiske, DL Florida State

And if one great story wasn't enough, the Rams decided to follow up their selection of Jared Verse by drafting his former Florida State teammate, Braden Fiske. And in case you missed the video of the call from Les Snead, Sean McVay, and Jared Verse to Braden on draft day make sure you check that out in the post below.
