They didn\u2019t whisper it. They didn\u2019t hedge it. Byron Young and Kobie Turner<\/a> said it the way pass rushers always do\u2014like a wish list written in dents and bruises.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive conversation with the California Post, the Rams\u2019 young defensive cornerstones Byron Young <\/a>and Kobie Turner revealed the five quarterbacks they most want to sack. The answers came fast, confident, and a little dangerous.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow,\u201d Young said, rolling through the names like muscle memory. MVPs. Franchise saviors. Quarterbacks whose highlights live forever\u2014and whose jerseys sell by the millions. For a linebacker built on speed and violence, that\u2019s the point. You don\u2019t chase anonymity. You hunt greatness.<\/p>\n

Turner\u2019s list, though, carried a sharper edge.<\/p>\n

The Rams\u2019 breakout defensive end leaned into familiarity first\u2014Sam Darnold, Brock Purdy, Kyler Murray\u2014the NFC West quarterbacks he sees twice a year, the ones whose tendencies he studies like scripture. Division games leave marks. They also create grudges.<\/p>\n

But Turner saved his best answer for last.<\/p>\n

Caleb Williams.<\/p>\n

The former USC Heisman Trophy winner, now with the Chicago Bears, still lives rent-free in Turner\u2019s memory<\/a> after that fourth-down miracle in the NFC Divisional Round.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Williams, falling backward, chaos collapsing, uncorked a touchdown off his back foot from the 40-yard-line as Turner closed in, tying the game and forcing overtime. It was beautiful. It was brutal. It was unfinished business.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did like sacking Sam Darnold, Brock Purdy, and Kyler Murray,\u201d Turner said. \u201cBut I\u2019d like to have an opportunity to get to Caleb Williams. I havet to get him.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the thing about great pass rushers. They don\u2019t run from moments that hurt. They circle them. They wait. And when the pocket collapses, they collect names like trophies.<\/p>\n
