Myles Garrett joins Rams, expected to improve run defense immediately

Myles Garrett has officially joined the Los Angeles Rams, enhancing their run defense ahead of the upcoming season. The Rams' swap of Garrett for Jared Verse is expected to yield substantial improvements, as Garrett brings a superior track record in run defense. Last season, he recorded only two missed tackles while achieving 46 run stops, contrasting sharply with Verse's struggles, which included a significant drop in run defense grading. The Rams are set to face key NFC West rivals, including the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, who rely heavily on their ground games. This addition is part of a broader strategy by the Rams to strengthen their defensive lineup.
