The Steelers ponied up to acquire Jalen Ramsey this offseason, but Ben Roethlisberger is concerned that they’re wasting his talents. The former All-Pro has enjoyed a diverse role in the secondary this year, beyond anything he’d done previously. In the past couple weeks, he has played a bit more on the outside, though, drawing Roethlisberger’s attention. He believes the Steelers would best benefit from him in a different role.
“I love when they put [Jalen] Ramsey in the slot”, he said on his Footbahlin podcast, and in fact, they largely due. Via Pro Football Focus, of his 461 defensive snaps in 2025, 217 have been in the slot.
