‘I can’t wait to see what he does in his sophomore season’
So much of the attention on defense goes to reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse, but the Los Angeles Rams have another star up front in Braden Fiske. The former Florida State Seminole is coming off a season where he had a team-high 8.5 sacks, wasting no time bursting onto the scene as a second-round rookie.
Fiske was a disruptive force for the Rams last season and after working hard on his body this offseason, he’s in even better shape entering Year 2. He feels stronger and just as quick as before despite adding a few pounds, cutting his body fat thanks to some diet adjustments.
NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger has high expectations for Fiske in 2025, putting the spotlight on Los Angeles’ stud defensive lineman in his recent “Baldy’s Breakdowns” segment on social media.
“Counting the postseason, Braden Fiske led all rookies with 10 sacks last year. I can’t wait to see what he does in his sophomore season,” Baldinger said.
Baldinger highlighted Fiske’s combination of power and speed, which were on display during multiple plays against the Cardinals and Vikings last year. It’s unfortunate he got hurt in the divisional round against the Eagles but thankfully, it was only a minor knee injury.
He’s back to being fully healthy and prepared to wreak havoc each and every week this season.
