From the LA Rams' site:
While it took a few weeks to develop, once the chemistry between Braden Fiske and Jared Verse got going, it became a disruptive force for the Seminoles' defensive front.
Asked what jumped off the tape of the two of them working in combination, Snead pointed to the game between Florida State and Louisville last fall.
"If you're ever bored, go start-to-finish Florida State at Louisville ACC Championship game," Rams GM Les Snead said. "... Watch those two players in that game."
Combined, Fiske (3) and Verse (2) accounted for five of the Seminoles' seven sacks in a 16-6 victory over the Cardinals.
Snead said it was "always a thought" to try to reunite the Florida State duo by going up and getting Fiske, going all the way back to during draft meetings during the week of the combine.
The Rams ultimately did by trading up from No. 52 overall and acquiring the No. 39 overall pick from the Panthers. However, hey didn't know if it would be Verse, but got lucky when Verse fell to them at No. 19 overall on Day 1. Then they spent Thursday night and all day Friday attempting to move up.
