In his first NFL game action, rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey showed why he was worth the fifth-overall pick.
The Jacksonville Jaguars held Jalen Ramsey out of the first week of preseason against the New York Jets. It wasn’t a significant enough injury to prevent regular season action, but enough to delay his debut at least a week.
And Ramsey was worth the wait.
The first-round pick made a number of plays for the Jaguars in just 17 snaps with the first-team offense, largely out of the slot cornerback position. He covered receivers well and showed an ability to stop the run several times on Saturday night.
