One of the most important factors that he cited is the way, they approach playing in the position. Ramsey is a lockdown cornerback, who takes some chances in coverage, but most of the time, he tries to nick the ball away from his assignment.
But in the case of Diggs, he often intercepts to catch the ball or break the pass of his opponents. This is the main reason; why he achieved a league-high 11 picks with 142 return yards and two touchdowns. So, it is fairly illogical to compare two opposite poles is what Ramsey thinks when asked about his thoughts on the matter.
