Rams acquire star cornerback Jalen Ramsey from Jaguars

The Los Angeles Rams have made a big addition to their defensive core as they aim to reach the Super Bowl for a second straight year.

The team announced that they have acquired star cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2020 and 2021 first round draft picks, and a 2021 fourth-round pick.

The 24-year old, who was selected fifth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, has compiled 210 combined tackles, 45 passes defended, nine interceptions and one touchdown over a span of 51 games and three-plus seasons with the franchise.

He is also a two-time Pro Bowler, and was selected to the first All-Pro Team in 2017.

He hasn’t played since the Jaguars’ week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans due to lingering issues with his back.
