1. Jalen Ramsey, Los Angeles Rams

For the second season in a row, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey tops Touchdown Wire’s list of the top outside cornerbacks in the NFL. As with last season, Ramsey’s versatility and skill-set are a huge reason why he tops the list.

Last season, Ramsey again played all over the field for the Rams as they earned the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy. According to charting data from Pro Football Focus, Ramsey saw 544 snaps as an outside cornerback, 325 snaps in the slot, another 131 snaps in the box and even 30 snaps along the defensive front.

Then there is his versatility in the kinds of players he can cover. You might see him covering Deebo Samuel on one week, T.J. Hockenson a second week and Danny Amendola a third. In a matchup-based league, a defender who can be responsible for such different receiving threats is a huge asset for a defense.

Regardless of where he aligned, or who he covered, he exceled. Take this interception against the Detroit Lions, where he aligns in off-coverage over a bunch formation and breaks underneath Hockenson for the interception:

Or this play from the Super Bowl, as he breaks on a pass intended for Tee Higgins and nearly comes up with the interception:

.

With his versatility and skill-set, Ramsey is a massive weapon on the defensive side of the ball for the Rams. And for the second year in a row, that propels him to the top of our list.

Justin Jefferson mentioned Jalen Ramsey and Marshon Lattimore as the two toughest CBs he’s faced in the NFL https://t.co/F9ARq0BIVN

RE: Jalen Ramsey

"I think he's falling off and a little overrated at this point," an AFC exec said. "Super Bowl, to me, is an indication of what it's going to look like moving forward."

Lmaoo. He allowed 63 yards vs. Ja'Marr Chase and 5 yards vs. Tee Higgins if we remove the PI https://t.co/Mb8EvPyvgv

ESPN polled players, coaches and executives who voted on the best cornerbacks in the NFL and @jalenramsey was ranked No. 1.
Ramsey has been a 1st team All Pro in two (full seasons) years with the Rams, to go along with 3 pro bowl berths while playing in LA. 🔒🗜🔒 pic.twitter.com/8TxgLOEajN

@jalenramsey is GREAT, but he doesn’t shadow the top receivers, he is a one side of the field corner! Maybe one of the most physical cornerbacks EVER. But, not on the same planet as a “cover” corner compared to other greats! @Revis24 @bigplay24slay @DeionSanders In my opinion

— Davis (@davishoyt10) July 8, 2022

One side of the field corner is such an uneducated take, here are some of his highlights, first two plays he's on opposite sides, second play he's playing the run because he's in the star position, not necessarily the slot, even tho he does cover slot WRs.https://t.co/HueQKeEBJC

Ah yes, everyone's deflection," BuT pFf Is GaRbAgE" yes, it's not the end all at all, but it measures everyone the same.
Also last year when he was shadowing the WR1 all year these were the numbers against the tip WRs, show me anyone close to this. pic.twitter.com/NJ2ge0Z40q

People can badly evaluate CB play, especially in games where a WR makes a long play on a CB.

Tom Brady had 57 dropbacks against the Rams in the playoffs. Mike Evans “burned” Jalen Ramsey on 1 play. That’s only 1.75% of the time, but people forget the other 98.25% because of it

I think Jalen has been the most ‘complete’ CB, I’ve ever seen on a Ram team. (That goes back to 1968-69).

The guy is such a force out there. A maniac. Old School in a way (on the field).

AW was great but he was past his prime by the time he was a Ram. I think of him more as a safety on the Rams.
