The Pittsburgh Steelers had a litany of acquisitions this offseason. The most recent splash came on the final day of June when they acquired defensive back Jalen Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins.This camp with the Steelers has been the most fun I’ve ever had in football—building real relationships, focusing on the fundamentals, and feeling the energy of a team that’s truly connected. I’m ready to bring that passion to the field.
Ramsey had a fantastic first camp with the Steelers, and he joined former Steelers safety Ryan Clark, as well as Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor, on the latest episode of The Pivot.
Ramsey was asked what his first experience in Latrobe has been like, and he was very candid about loving being a Steeler.
“This is the most fun training camp I’ve ever been a part of,” Ramsey said. “It’s like, the most that I’ve enjoyed football, the most that I’ve enjoyed my teammates, my coaches, and everything. Because I feel like everything went back to the basics. It’s about ball. It’s about the right stuff. It’s about the relationships.”
Ramsey added that Mike Tomlin is a different type of coach when it comes to motivation.
“I have a great relationship with Coach McVay out in LA. We had our great times. And he’s still a great friend of mine - Mike T [is] different.”
Ramsey makes up a loaded secondary that also features Joey Porter Jr and Darius Slay, as well as DeShon Elliott and Juan Thornhill at safety. The Steelers have a lot of names, and we’ll find out if it translates into on-field success.
