Verse, 25, was the No. 19 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Berry called the former Defensive Rookie of the Year a "perfect DNA match" for the Browns' attacking front, highlighting his dual-threat ability as both a run defender and pass rusher. Over his first two seasons, Verse has recorded 12.0 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, and 45 quarterback hits.
