Mike Tomlin Admired ‘Unique’ Jalen Ramsey From Afar. Now He Gets To Coach Him.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin has always had a great deal of respect for defensive back Jalen Ramsey, dating back to when Ramsey was coming out of Florida State.

Though the Steelers had no shot at drafting the former Seminoles’ star in the 2016 NFL Draft, where Ramsey went No. 5 overall, Tomlin still held him in high regard. Especially after Ramsey took a Pro Day Dinner with Tomlin and then-GM Kevin Colbert.

Over the years, with Ramsey playing for the likes of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins, Tomlin and the Steelers have had to deal with the great talent.
