Ramsey has earned a strong reputation and respect from his peers that includes All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has voiced during an interview with the NFL Network that the third-year cornerback is his favorite to go up against.

“He's my favorite man. You know he takes it serious. He has a chip on his shoulder, he doesn't want to lose a route… Going against a guy like that makes it fun. That's going to be the measuring stick of where your level is at, cause you know that guy's at a high level.”

This is certainly some high praise coming from arguably the best wide receiver in the league who has faced many top-tier cornerbacks over his career. The 23-year-old has shown some special ability on the field to cover effectively just about any wideout that made him one of the top man coverage defensive backs.

Ramsey truly put himself on the map this past season earning his first Pro Bowl selection and First-Team All-Pro nod in just his second campaign. He has helped form a formidable cornerback duo with Pro Bowler A.J. Bouye that anchors the Jaguars' stout secondary.

There is a bright future ahead of Ramsey that could see him add several more individual honors while further cementing his status as one of the best defensive players in the NFL.

These two will have a chance to add to their budding rivalry this upcoming in Week 11 when Jacksonville hosts Pittsburgh in what should be a highly intense game. The matchup between Ramsey and Brown will be one of the key aspects of the game that should bring the best come out of both players.
