Los Angeles Rams Cornerback Jalen Ramsey When it comes to his status among the NFL’s elite, he is known for being outspoken. The corner, just six years after his first Super Bowl appearance, is proud to present his latest claim of greatness.
Ramsey asked Twitter on Friday if there was any corner that had achieved three first-team selections and five Pro Bowl selections in the position during his six first-seasons. Ramsey believed only two other league players had achieved that feat, but only one did. Former Buffalo Bills corner Butch Byrd is the only other corner with such a résumé, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Byrd spent seven seasons with Buffalo, where he was a three-time All-AFL selection and a five-time AFL All-Star.
It’s just 2 in HISTORY for a resume such as mine, in 6 years

Cornerback Richard ShermanHe was drafted by Seattle Seahawks For short periods of time, you can be dressed up with the San Francisco 49ers Tampa Bay Buccaneers, joined the Twitter dialogue with his résumé for his first six seasons compared to Ramsey’s. He also suggested Minnesota Vikings defensive back Patrick Peterson Be considered for this discussion. Sherman later praised Ramsey, calling Ramsey “the standard for secondary players”.
I think @P2 You can also join the conversation. You are the Standard, right now! It’s your turn! Shine!

Ramsey’s former teammate Aqib Talib You may also want to compare stats. He had more touchdowns and interceptions in his first six seasons, but he did not surpass Ramsey in Pro Bowl honors.
Ramsey only wants people to see greatness when it is presented.
I was that dude too! I want people to respect greatness everywhere.
