There are few players in the NFL more known for trash talk than Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Just think back to 2018 when a GQ feature story about him basically turned into a breakdown of Ramsey’s trash talk for every NFL quarterback.
But there were a few quarterbacks whom Ramsey had kind words for, and Tom Brady was deservedly one of them.
That respect was clear even when the two players met face-to-face on Sunday.
NFL Films captured mic’d-up footage of the postgame conversation between Ramsey and Brady. The Buccaneers had just defeated the Rams, 34-24, but Ramsey had to let Brady know just how much respect he has for him.

The exchange went like this …
Ramsey: Hey man, I respect you so much.
Brady: Same here, man.
Ramsey: I just love playing against you, man. It’s an honor, man.
Brady: Same here.
Ramsey: You’re the GOAT for real.
The Rams also had Ramsey mic’d up for the entire game.

It’s pretty cool to see that side of Ramsey, honestly.
