Ramsey makes case for top pick in NFL draft

Jalen Ramsey is hoping the Tennessee Titans make him the Mithch Moreland Jerseytop overall pick in next month's NFL draft because of his skills and not any hometown bias. The defensive back had another chance to make his case on Tuesday during Florida State's pro day. Ramsey, kicker Roberto Aguayo and 14 other Seminoles did position drills in front of representatives from 30 teams. Aguayo, who is the most http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-30-neftali-feliz-jersey.htmlaccurate kicker in NCAA history with a 96.73 percent conversion rate, also made a favorable impression on scouts and could go as high as the third round. But Ramsey was the headliner. His hometown team has the top pick in next month's NFL draft and was well represented to take another look at Ramsey. Titans head coach Mike Mularkey, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau and general manager Jon Robinson all in attendance. Ramsey grew up in Smyrna, Tennessee, which is 25 miles south of Nashville. He's trying to do something that hasn't been http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-34-nolan-ryan-jersey.htmldone in 60 years - become the first defensive back taken with the top overall pick. The last time that happened was 1956, when the top overall pick was Gary Glick. It's never happened since the AFL-NFL common draft in 1967. The highest defensive back taken since then Eric Turner, who the Cleveland Browns selected with the second overall in 1991. ''I want them to pick me Roberto Alomar Jerseybecause I'm the best player in the draft, not because I'm from Tennessee. I feel like I am and continue to show it,'' Ramsey said about going first. ''I've had the resume for it. You can watch my game film.'' During last month's combine, the 6-foot-1, 202-pound Ramsey ran a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash while having the top position performances in the vertical jump (41 1/2 inches) and broad jump (11-foot-3). He only did defensive back workouts on Tuesday. Ramsey, who was a second-team selection to The Associated Press All-American team the past two seasons, http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-21-roger-clemens-jersey.htmlis intriguing because of his versatility in the defensive backfield. He started 25 games at safety and 16 at cornerback. Last season at corner Ramsey finished with 52 tackles, including 3 1/2 for loss and a team-high 10 pass breakups. ''He is very capable of being the first pick and you can justify it because of the versatility he brings to the defensive side of the football because of the way the game is played,'' Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. ''He can play corner and match up against the big receivers, he can play a play tight end and tackle and he can play a back out of the backfield. He's also a tremendous blitzer.''
