What happened: The NFL revealed Jalen Ramsey at No. 82 on its Top 100 Players of 2026, the annual player-voted ranking. Ramsey is listed as a cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers on the reveal.

Why it matters: The placement is a marker of how peers still rate Ramsey heading into the 2026 season, and it slots him into a Steelers defense that has been building around its pass rush this offseason. His spot on the list drew immediate pushback from fans who argued the ranking was too high, a reminder that his standing remains a talking point rather than a settled question.

What to watch: Watch for where the rest of the Steelers' defenders land as the countdown continues, and how Ramsey's role takes shape once Pittsburgh opens its 2026 program.
