Ben Roethlisberger respects Jalen Ramsey but doesn't fear him

PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger isn't about to fire verbal shots back at Jalen Ramsey, who called him "decent at best" in the offseason.

But Roethlisberger won't be scared to fire a few footballs Ramsey's way in Sunday's Steelers-Jaguars clash in Jacksonville.

"I’m not going to fear anybody, no matter who they are," Roethlisberger said. "But you respect [Ramsey], for sure," Roethlisberger said.

Ramsey, the talented and talkative Jacksonville corner, critiqued several NFL quarterbacks in an August interview with GQ. His assessment of Roethlisberger was not kind.

"Big Ben, I think he’s decent at best," Ramsey said.
