Is Jalen Ramsey the Best CB in the NFL?

Published: Jan 08, 2018 at 05:22 AM

The Checkdown's daily collection of football culture stories for January 8, 2018. This is The Extra Point.

1. He's only 23 years old, but the Jags' All-Pro CB is making a strong case for the league's top shutdown corner.

First Team All-Pro @jalenramsey was assigned to defend Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin in today’s win.

Benjamin finished with 1 catch for 9 yards on 2 targets.

He was also penalized 10 yards for offensive pass interference against Ramsey.

9 minus 10 = -1 yard. #AllProShoes https://t.co/bl79S1FxsH
