How Will Steelers Deploy Jalen Ramsey In Their Defense?

How will the Steelers deploy Jalen Ramsey in their defense?

The Steelers made a big move to acquire Jalen Ramsey, but what exactly is their strategy for actually deploying him? On the most surface-level evaluation, it’s not entirely clear how it all makes sense. After all, Ramsey, historically, has primarily been an outside cornerback. They have two starting outside cornerbacks, but now, no free safety.

But Jalen Ramsey is capable of playing anywhere in the secondary, so how will the Steelers use him? He has logged some 1,000 or so snaps in the slot over the course of his career, and he has previously expressed an interest in finishing his career with a move to safety.
