""It was crazy, not just to see a living legend but somebody that played at a high level in the league," Verse said. "To be able to meet him and sit down with him, it was cool.""
""I was very impressed with his countenance, courtesy and respect toward me," Grier said in an email."
""The coolest part about it is we're talking about that group 50 to 60 years later," Fiske said. "I mean, that's unbelievable. ... For a whole group to make their mark is something that is still considered one of the best is something we chase.""
""We know we're in a group that's feared and will continue to be feared because of the work we put in and what we show on Sundays," Turner said."
Jared Verse met Rosey Grier, the only living member of the Rams' 1960s Fearsome Foursome, during an October fashion shoot. The Rams' young edge rushers — Verse, Byron Young, Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske — recreated a famous team photo and expressed admiration for the 1960s unit. Verse won NFL defensive rookie of the year last season; Turner and Fiske were recent finalists. Byron Young has nine sacks this season, tied for sixth in the NFL. The Rams added veteran nose tackle Poona Ford to improve run defense, joining a front that includes Tyler Davis, Larrell Murchison, Nick Hampton and rookies Josaiah Stewart and Ty Hamilton.
