It's no debate that the 2016 draft class is stacked with young and budding NFL superstars. Just recently, the third overall pick of the class, Joey Bosa, signed a huge $135 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Chargers. With that said, Los Angeles Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey can't help but be delighted for his draftmates.
Ramsey, the fifth overall pick of the 2016 class, shared his excitement on Twitter after Bosa's deal.
2016 Draft Class 1-4 gettin paid & I love it kus they all deserve it!! God’s timing & blessings are truly great and they are better than what we could even imagine. As His children, what He has for US is truly special!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Is this a sign of things to come for the three-time Pro Bowler? Hopefully.
To date, Jalen Ramsey is the only member of the top five draft picks of 2016 that has not received a new contract. He is set to make $13.7 million this 2020 on the fifth-year option of his contract, which has been carried over to the Rams from the Jacksonville Jaguars as part of his 2019 move.
With his current contract expiring next year, look for Ramsey to bag his own seven-digit deal with the Rams or another NFL team.
After Bosa signed his huge contract extension, the 2016 top four picks have now all secured their future in the league. Last year, first overall pick Jared Goff received a $134 million four-year extension from the Rams, second pick Carson Wentz got his own $128 million contract extension from the Philadelphia Eagles, and Ezekiel Elliot agreed to a $90 million six-year extension from the Cowboys.
What contract awaits the 2016 fifth overall pick? Ramsey will just have to wait and see.
