Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey considered a generational player by NFL.com

There are few players who make an impact in the NFL like Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey has been called many things over the first three years of his career in the NFL. I am not sure I have heard him called a generational player before, but the term fits for the ever-popular and controversial defensive star who is arguably the best player on the Jaguars roster.

Ramsey was one of the “NFL’s generational talents under 25,” as NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks explained.

At 24 years old, Ramsey might just be entering his prime as one of the best to EVER play the game. It’s scary to think the youngster is just getting starting, making the cornerback position chic and grabbing headlines for his play on the field and the antics off the field which are certainly entertaining.

Also, knowing the former FSU star wants the Jaguars to roll out the Brinks truck and pay him like one of the best players in the NFL, period, will make for an interesting offseason in 2020.

The Jaguars told Ramsey they would not offer him a new contract this season, but have picked up his fifth-year option next season to the tune of $13.7 million. The belief by many is a new deal will get worked out next season so Ramsey can remain in a Jaguars uniform for the foreseeable future.

"“It’s not easy to find a football player with world-class athleticism and all-pro football skills, but the Jaguars have the rare find on the roster with Ramsey,” Brooks wrote. “The 6-1, 208-pound cover corner is a former ACC indoor and outdoor long-jump champion who once had his eye on qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team.”"

His style of play with his over-the-topic confidence is something worth watching because he backs it up on a weekly basis against the NFL’s top wide receivers.

"“As a football player, Ramsey is the prototype at the position as a long, rangy corner with flawless bump-and-run technique,” Brooks adds. “He snuffs out wide receivers at the line of scrimmage, exhibiting all of the qualities that are normally associated with the premier shutdown corners in the game.”"

And with A.J. Bouye on the other side, forming one of the best duos in the NFL, it’s not hard to see why Ramsey would make the list.

Coincidentally, Ramsey was joined by former FSU star and close friend Derwin James of the Los Angeles Chargers. Just last week, we posted a story here at Black and Teal about the second-year safety joining Ramsey as potentially the best defensive back in the NFL. James suffered a stress fracture of his foot last week and miss a minimum of three months of the 2019 season.
