Cornerback Jalen Ramsey is preparing to go up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. But before that, it was time for Ramsey to make a quick appearance at the Rich Eisen Show on Friday. During the episode, the 27-year-old CB talked about how skilled and refined his team is and that he may have a chance to equalize his post-season record against Tom Brady.
Talking about his team, the five-time Pro Bowler mentioned that the Rams are filled with stars in every team. Be it an offense, defense, or special team. The conversation then drifted to his defensive teammate Aaron Donald, who is also among the top three DPOY contenders this season.

Jalen Ramsey on Aaron Donald
Clearly, Aaron Donald has a degree of high respect among his teammates. His highly commendable work ethic and commitment enthrall not only Ramsey but all of his teammates.
When asked about his favorite moment with AD, Ramsey replied: “I don’t know if I have one particular favorite one, but just seeing how dominant he is, he’s one of the best teammates ever, just because of the way he goes about his work during the week and then seeing it come to life on game days is amazing,” Ramsey said. “Seeing him beat double teams and triple teams, more than anybody in the league is something that’s super special honestly.”

AD has been a role model for many of his teammates as he never fails to look after them, just like a true leader. “He’s the humblest guy ever, supportive of the guys ever, and he challenges all of us,” Ramsey continues. “He pushes all of us whether that’s verbally or just by the way he goes by his business on his actions.”

Although his 2020 season was highly commendable as he won the DPOY for it, he has consistently delivered for the Rams this season too. Donald, in his 17 games with the Rams this season has recorded 12.5 sacks with 38 solo tackles and four forced fumbles, and that exhibits that he is equally dominant in games as he is in practice.

“We’re looking at AD all the time,” Ramsey added. “Whether its film or whether it’s like on the field, we’re just in amazement on what he does.” And as the Rams prepare to clash against the defending champions next week, the defense has no room for errors.
