NFL Week 5 action kicked off last night with the Los Angeles Rams defeating the Seattle Seahawks 26-17 to improve to 4-1 in the season. Jalen Ramsey started at cornerback for the Rams. He had four tackles, three of which were solo. He also intercepted a pass.
The most impressive aspect about the former Jaguars player is that he was never a traditional defensive player. Despite that, he has been consistently putting in great performances; especially against the Seahawks last night, which earned him enough plaudits from him his peers.

“He can do it all” – Aaron Donald on his teammate
Ramsey’s confidence hasn’t waned in his sixth NFL season, and his shift from cornerback to all-around defensive back may have boosted it to new heights. It looks like Ramsey wants to shut down the whole offense this season after being bored and dissatisfied for so many seasons being on the sidelines watching rival quarterbacks play keep away as he locked down their best receivers.
Aaron Donald also echoed similar sentiments and was in awe of Ramsey. “Ain’t no player like him in the National Football League,” three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald said. “He can do it all.”
