Jalen Ramsey, born on October 24, 1994, in Smyrna, Tennessee, is a professional football cornerback for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL. He played college football at Florida State, where he was a standout player before being selected fifth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Ramsey made an immediate impact with the Jaguars, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in 2017 and helping the team end a decade-long playoff drought. After a highly publicized dispute with the Jaguars' front office, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2019. In 2020, Ramsey signed a contract extension that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history at the time. Following his success with the Rams, including a Super Bowl victory, Ramsey was traded to the Dolphins in 2023, continuing his stellar NFL career.

His father, while working his job made sure he was there for his Jalen and he helped train him. As a matter of fact, Jalen’s father is still a big part of his training even to this day.
