That's not the only commitment Verse would like to get out of, having challenged fellow rookie Braden Fiske that whoever ended up with the fewest sacks would have to shave his beard. When Verse made the pledge, the first-round pick was well ahead of his former Florida State teammate in quarterback takedowns. But Verse now finds himself trailing the defensive tackle headed into the regular-season finale against Seattle on Sunday.
