When the Dallas Cowboys were on the clock with the 4th pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, most Jacksonville Jaguars fans had accepted that Jalen Ramsey likely wouldn’t be available at number 5. When the Cowboys opted for running back Ezekiel Elliott, Jaguars fans rejoiced and the team couldn’t sprint to the podium fast enough.
The fanbase had a collective heart attack when news emerged of Ramsey’s torn meniscus, but a successful surgery in recent weeks means he should be back in time for training camp. Missing practices isn’t ideal for a rookie, but this shouldn’t affect the impact he could have as a rookie if this timeline holds.
