Jalen Ramsey is arguably the most outspoken player in the NFL. He's never been afraid to say what's on his mind and he doesn't care if people hate him for being so outspoken.
For those that dislike Ramsey and think he's way too cocky, he's proven he's the best cornerback in football since coming into the league two years ago. Ramsey is a supreme athlete that has excelled in a number of sports he's attempted to play over the course of his life, not just football.
In a one-on-one interview with ESPN's Mina Kimes, Ramsey even made a claim that he could probably crack the NHL if he trained for six months, that's how confident he is in himself and his athletic ability:
By the time Ramsey entered high school, his talent was undeniable, but he was just 5-foot-3. Surely then, I say, he didn't think he was the best player in Tennessee. "I didn't think -- I was," he retorts. Aside from baseball, which he says he lacks the coordination for, he's excelled at every sport he's ever tried. He picked up lacrosse for a season and, once he figured out how to handle the stick, ran circles around the competition. ("There's not a lot of black people who do it," he says, smiling.) He's never tried skating, but if he trained for six months, he says, he could probably crack the NHL.
We can already hear the comments now from hockey fans and they all are similar to the comments on this post:
For someone that's never skated before, it's absurd to think you could make it to the NHL with 6 months of training.
That said, Ramsey is so driven and naturally talented that if he wasn't playing football and had the one goal in mind of becoming a good enough player to make it to the NHL in 6 months, we wouldn't bet against him.
Before you laugh off Ramsey's claim, read the entire article from Mina Kimes to give you a better sense of who he is and why he's so outspoken and confident.
