Jared Verse was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but his disdain for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles runs deep.
Verse, the Rams’ first-round draft pick out of FSU (No. 19 overall), who has been an impact player with 4.5 quarterback sacks, made it very clear that he “hates” Eagles fans.
Verse, who went to high school in Berwick, Pa. (about 95 miles away from Philadelphia), gave an intense insight during game week interviews with reporters this week in Los Angeles.
“I hate Eagles fans,” Verse said to The Los Angeles Times on Thursday. “They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans. “When I see that green and white I hate it. I actually get upset. Like I actually genuinely get hot.”
“I didn’t even do nothing to ‘em,” he said. “It was my first time playing. Oh, I hate Eagles fans.”
Verse repeated the word “hate” several times during the interview. He also noted that when the Rams played the Eagles in November at SoFi Stadium, Eagles fans spewed obscenities that he could make out despite wearing headphones.
He’ll hear even more on Sunday.
