Jared Verse wasted no time establishing himself as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. He won Defensive Rookie of the Year and led the league in total pressures (including playoffs) in 2024 before continuing to play at a high level last season.<\/p>\n

He still has room for improvement, though. Verse wants to get even better, elevating his game to the elite level where Micah Parsons, Myles Garrett and the other top pass rushers live.<\/p>\n

One way to get there? Train with them. Verse said on \u201cThe Pivot\u201d podcast<\/a> recently that Parsons invited him to train together in Dallas. Of course, Parsons is rehabbing a torn ACL, but he still wants to work with Verse and help him get better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m a student of the game now. I think I\u2019ve got to get a lot smarter,\u201d Verse said. \u201cI was just talking to Micah two days ago. We were talking, he was like, \u2018Bro, you are so fast, use your speed.\u2019 Even Micah, he\u2019s still recovering from his injury. He\u2019s got a long way ahead of him. He said, \u2018Come to Dallas.\u2019 He trains in Dallas. He said, \u2018Come to Dallas. Let\u2019s work together.\u2019 I\u2019ve got to start working with these dudes who are at the level I want to get to. I haven\u2019t spent enough time with Micah. I haven\u2019t spent enough time with Will (Anderson). These dudes that dominate the league that I\u2019m trying to get to that level. But they all work together. They\u2019ll get and do workouts together. I\u2019ve got to start getting into that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Verse has some untapped potential, something he\u2019s well aware of. He wants to get better at finishing plays and turning pressures into sacks, something he improved upon this past season when he increased his sack total from 4.5 to 7.5.<\/p>\n

Parsons and Garrett are still a tier above Verse, though, which is why he wants to pick their brains and learn how to clean up certain areas of his game.<\/p>\n

Training with them can\u2019t be any harder than working out with Aaron Donald, which Verse checked off his bucket list \u2013 or \u201cnever-doing-again\u201d list \u2013\u00a0last summer before the season started.<\/p>\n
