When the Pittsburgh Steelers made the splash move to trade for Jalen Ramsey, there was plenty of speculation that he would come in to replace Minkah Fitzpatrick as the team’s free safety rather than play outside at cornerback, where he’s logged three All-Pro seasons.
Instead, he began the season in the slot, occasionally dipping outside and occasionally stepping back into a looser safety role. That all changed against the Indianapolis Colts, a game in which the Steelers picked up five defensive turnovers, all while Ramsey floated in the secondary as the team’s free safety.
The changes the Steelers made on the defensive side paid off, and hopefully they’ll stick around as the team prepares for another tough AFC matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.
