When the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired standout defensive back Jalen Ramsey via trade in late June, they had visions of adding a lockdown cornerback, one that could not only take on 1-on-1 matchups and close down one side of the field, but one that could also move around between safety, boundary corner and slot corner, giving great versatility to the Steelers’ defense.
Through the first three weeks of the season, Ramsey has shown signs of being that difference maker in the secondary. But he’s also had some struggles.
There was the game-saving fourth down pass breakup in Week 1 against the New York Jets, a game in which he allowed just two receptions for six yards.
