Well, James might have gotten an answer that he possibly wasn’t a fan of. While talking on the show, James and Ramsey got into an argument about how it would’ve been if James were in the league.

Ramsey went on to say that he had never been Moss’d in his career and to that James said, “I would’ve Moss’d Jalen.” Now, for those who don’t know what the term ‘Moss’ means, it was coined after the legendary Randy Moss.
Moss: (verb) to make a jaw-dropping, defender-humiliating catch, typically of the jump-ball variety.

Randy Moss played as a wide receiver, a position James would’ve likely played if he was in the NFL. Moss made a career out of making catches that seemed almost impossible during games.
As Jalen Ramsey plays the cornerback position for his team, the primary role of a CB is to cover receivers on the field. And if Bron were playing football, Ramsey could’ve been guarding James in the end zone.

Could LeBron have been better than an NFL player if he played?
Ramsey is 6’1″ whereas James is 6’9″. That is an eight-inch difference between the two. Ramsey may be stronger than James and might have an advantage in speed as well. But one area where Ramsey possibly cannot match James is his vertical jump.
