Eli Manning has done his homework since last he spoke about Jalen Ramsey… and made headlines for doing so.
“He’s a big guy, he’s physical,” Manning said of the Jaguars’ All-Pro cornerback on Wednesday. “He’s got good size, good range, good ball skills. He likes to be pressed up and does a good job playing tight coverage.”
That’s a far departure from Manning’s dismissive “Who?” when asked about Ramsey’s inflammatory scouting report on Manning (and just about every other quarterback in the NFL) that appeared in a magazine article earlier this summer. In those comments, Ramsey dissed Manning’s success as being more a product of his primary target than his own skills.
