He’s older, more expensive and not a clean fit defensively with the hole now present in the secondary. But the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t seem to share those concerns about Jalen Ramsey.
After acquiring him last week along with tight end Jonnu Smith for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a late-round pick swap, the Steelers believe they’re a better team. They also believe Ramsey is more versatile and can do more in the secondary.
At 31 years old and not a true safety, Ramsey projects as an interesting fit for the Steelers in the slot. He’ll be compared heavily to Fitzpatrick though, considering they were essentially swapped for each other.
