Where did Jared Verse rank in ESPN's Top 100 NFL Players?
Where did newly acquired Jared Verse land on the ESPN top 100?
Jared Verse ranked 69th in ESPN's Top 100 NFL Players. This ranking marked a 14 spot drop from his 2025 ranking of 55. The Cleveland Browns traded two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett for Verse, but Verse proved to be a worthwhile replacement. As the 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year, Verse was already one of the NFL's premier power rushers.
In the offseason, he added more moves to his repertoire, believing the return to a three-point stance in Cleveland's 4-3 scheme would enhance his ability to record sacks. ESPN's projection of 8.0 sacks for Verse in the 2026 season was significantly lower than what Browns fans anticipated, with many expecting him to achieve 12.0 or more sacks.
