Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey loves a good challenge. And when his side takes on the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, that’s exactly what he’s going to get. Up against wide receiver DK Metcalf, Ramsey will have his work cut out for the night. 

Metcalf, who is enjoying his breakthrough season with the Seahawks, will look to make life difficult for the experienced cornerback with his lethal combination of speed and strength.

Ramsey, however, is no pushover either. The 4-time Pro Bowler has been one of the best in the league at what he does for quite some time now.

The cornerback and the wide receiver have lined up against one another earlier in the season. When the Rams took on the Seahawks back in gameweek 10, Ramsey allowed Metcalf 0 receptions on 2 targets.

Ramsey kept Metcalf on a tightrope throughout the game, and the latter ended the night with only 28 yards and 0 touchdowns.  To put that number into context, Metcalf has averaged 87.4 yards per game this season

Going by fan votes, Ramsey failed to make it among the Top-10 Pro Bowl cornerbacks this season. Somehow, 37 tackles, 4 pass breakups, and an interception this season were not enough to convince fans.
