Jalen Ramsey said multiple times on Super Bowl LVI Opening Night that he’s the best defensive back in the NFL – a claim that’s become almost impossible to dispute. He’s been named a first-team All-Pro in each of the last two years with the Rams, taking his game to another level since arriving in Los Angeles.
So why wouldn’t the best DB in the game want to shadow the Bengals’ top receiver in the Super Bowl? Ramsey said he’s lobbying to cover Ja’Marr Chase throughout Sunday’s game, even though he knows the game plan won’t call for him to cover Chase on every snap.
“Of course. It’s me. It’s me now. Keep it real. Of course that’s what I’m asking for. That’s what I want,” Ramsey said. “Whoever you think your best man is, put me on him. Let me help the team win this game. That’s what it’s all about. But there are different areas where we might have to do something different because it might put the team in a better position to win. Wherever the game may take us, it’ll take us and we’re going to do what we gotta do from there. You’re going to get to see that matchup. You’re going to have opportunities to see it and I’m going to be ready for him.”
