Every NFL moment is memorable. For some, it’s touchdowns; for others, sacks. For the 30-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback, Jalen Ramsey , it’s about sacks—and some added bonuses. After the team’s crushing 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns , Ramsey told ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, “I'm going to probably tell my kids about this—I played in a game with T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett , and I had two sacks. That's crazy.”


T.J. Watt called Jalen Ramsey a “Swiss Army knife,” while Myles Garrett faced off as a divisional rival
In July, even before the season began, Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt praised Jalen Ramsey on The Pat McAfee Show, saying the cornerback can impact the game in many ways: “He’s a Swiss Army knife of our defense right now. You’re going to see him play in every position. And any time those guys lock down just for an extra half a second, we love it coz it allows us to get to the quarterback.” Myles Garrett and Jalen Ramsey are divisional rivals—and when the Steelers defeat a divisional rival? It becomes a story to tell the kids.



Jalen Ramsey was unstoppable in the Steelers vs. Browns Week 6 Sunday Night Football matchup


Not once, but twice Browns rookie starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel was sacked by Pittsburgh’s cornerback, Jalen Ramsey—once in the first quarter when Ramsey blitzed off the left edge and ran unscathed towards Gabriel and again in the fourth when Ramsey dodged two Browns wide receivers, got missed by Browns tight end Blake Whiteheart and chased the rookie starter out of the pocket, dragging him down four yards shy of the line of scrimmage.

Ramsey’s performance drew widespread reaction...
Pittsburgh safety DeShon Elliott couldn’t believe the cornerback’s old self still had it
Steelers safety DeShon Elliott was in awe of Ramsey’s on-field magic. The safety was in shock when he saw Gabriel being dragged down by Ramsey: “He’s a potential gold jacket. You kind of expect those things from somebody like that. When it happens, though, you’re like, dang—especially when I saw him track the quarterback down from one side, run to the other. I didn’t know his old self still had it. I didn’t know he had that speed on him still. But no, he’s a dog. I expect it out of him, but we’ve got a lot more to go, so it’ll be fun.”


Aaron Rodgers has a lot of respect for the seven-time Pro Bowler
In the post-win conference, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed deep respect for the seven-time Pro Bowler, Jalen Ramsey: “I do want to make a point and talk about Ramsey, because what he did this week getting ready to play, I've been around the game a long time, and I've seen a lot of guys in a situation where you got a Sunday/Thursday, skip both games. Where maybe they're 85%, but they want to be 100%, because I think there's a fear of failure almost that can paralyze them where if I don't play my best game, then what does that say about me if I'm not 100%?

I think some guys are scared to go out there and play, but for Jalen to go out there with everything he's accomplished in this league, I just can't say enough about the level of respect I have for him. He had what—two sacks and pass break-ups and tackles. If there was any question about the type of person that he is—take away the incredible player—but the person and teammate, I think he just showed all of us the kind of guy that he is by going out there and playing today.”


The admiration didn’t stop with players...

Mike Tomlin called the Super Bowl champion significant against the Cleveland Browns

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin emphasized one-time Super Bowl champion Jalen Ramsey’s value in the Steelers vs. Browns matchup: “We certainly wanted to make sure that he (Jalen Ramsey) could impact the game. I cannot say enough about Jalen Ramsey. This guy plays outside corner, he plays nickel, he plays free safety. He is exactly what we hoped he would be and certainly he was significant today.”
