Jalen Ramsey has been a mainstay on any list ranking the NFL’s top 10 corners since he entered the league in 2016. The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting him just as he falls off the impressive list, but NFL execs, coaches and scouts still think highly of him as a player. Jeremy Fowler’s annual survey had Ramsey just barely outside the top 10 after being No. 5 last offseason.
“He had a down year last year, but he still had flashes of being the gold standard at corner,” one personnel director told Fowler.
Like with many of their veteran offseason additions, the Steelers are hoping that Ramsey’s dip in production was just a down season rather than the start of a trend.
