Los Angeles Rams rookie edge rusher Jared Verse appeared to embrace the fan abuse he received in Philadelphia before Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff game with the Eagles. Just days after admitting he hates Eagles fans, the 24-year-old Florida State product took a pregame stroll at Lincoln Financial Field, where the locals were waiting for him.

The Pro Bowl selection and teammate Byron Young were both showered with boos as they strolled through the end zone ahead of kickoff. They were seen cupping their hands behind their ears to encourage the vitriol with Young adding a few repetitions of ‘thank you’ to boot.

At one point, Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter said something to Verse, who had a quick retort: ‘I’ll take that 77 for the next round. I’ll put that in my pocket.’. Verse appeared to be referring to the $77,000 bonus NFL players receive for reaching the conference championship, which the Rams would do if they can upset the second-seeded Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
He may not have been widely known to Eagles fans prior to this week, but Verse popped up on their radar when asked about a viral video of a local verbally abusing a Packers fan at Lincoln Financial Field during the Wild Card round.
