When Miami Dolphins star cornerback Jalen Ramsey initially suffered his knee injury in the summer, initial reports were that he would be sidelined until December. Ramsey obviously beat those projections, playing this week against the New England Patriots, but he doesn’t see his recovery as trying to prove anyone wrong.
During his press conference on Sunday, Jalen Ramsey made it clear that his speedy recovery was more about proving the Miami Dolphins right for signing him than it was proving any of his doubters wrong.
“I’ve got a core group of family, friends, and then my teammates, coaches and everybody who I do care what they’re going to think about me and how I handle my business and how I go about my days, game days, whatever it may be,” Ramsey said. “So it was more so about proving them right today. Like before the game I was just telling everybody, ‘yo, I’m going to be as advertised today, to y’all.’ Like Mike, I’m going to prove you right; like Chris, I’m going to prove you right today. Today is going to be one of those days for me where – that’s really what it was about. It wasn’t about proving somebody wrong, but I did that, too, huh.”
Ramsey had a strong debut for the team notching an interception as he helped lead the Dolphins to a 31-17 victory.
