Jalen Ramsey Claps Back at Those Doubting Him in Cornerback Debate

On Friday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler published his ranking of the NFL’s best cornerbacks, in which he polled executives for their opinions before the season starts. While Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey earned the top spot, not everyone in the poll agreed.

An anonymous AFC executive told Fowler he thinks Ramsey’s game has started to decline.

“I think he’s falling off and a little overrated at this point,” he said. “Super Bowl, to me, is an indication of what it’s going to look like moving forward.”

Another personnel director chose to praise Ramsey for this era, but said he isn’t someone who matches up to the best corners of the past.

“He’s not as good as [Darrelle] Revis or Charles Woodson, but he’s the best in this era,” he said. “He does everything well.”
