When NFL draft night rolled around in 2016, it was still very much unclear what the Jacksonville Jaguars would do with the fifth overall pick. It was seemingly a given that the team would select a defensive player, but the consensus was that Jalen Ramsey wouldn’t be on the board after four selections. Ramsey was, and Jacksonville didn’t waste a second turning in the draft card with his name on it.
Just two full seasons later, that decision has been a franchise bolstering move. Ramsey has ascended to elite status at not only his position, but overall in the league, and is an invaluable force on the monstrous Jaguars defense.
