Getting a compliment from a fiery player like Jalen Ramsey is a rare occurrence. So when the All-Pro cornerback from the Los Angeles Rams does happen to heap praise on an opposing player, people tend to take notice of what he says.
Amid the discussion about Joe Burrow at the Super Bowl Opening Night media sessions, Ramsey believes there is something special about the second-year quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals.
.@jalenramsey sees something special in @JoeyB and it all comes down to two things:
"Swag and heart."

When watching Burrow under center for the Bengals, there’s a level of confidence that he plays with. Videos of him smoking a cigar after winning the National Championship at LSU and him wearing an expensive chain ahead of the AFC title game that sports his initials are perfect examples of the swagger he possesses.
Nothing seems to rattle Burrow as he’s been able to lead the Bengals to their first Super Bowl since 1988 despite coming off of a torn ACL in only his second year in the NFL. Ramsey has taken notice of Burrow’s performance this season and believes special things are in store for him moving forward.
The Bengals have made it known that they aren’t going to be afraid to throw the ball to Ramsey’s side of the field in the Super Bowl this Sunday. And while Ramsey was complimentary of Burrow’s confidence and competitiveness, it’s going to be exciting to watch the matchup between the young signal-caller and Los Angeles’ star-studded defense.
