On Friday, former Steelers CB Steven Nelson aired his reaction to the news that Ramsey would be covering Buccaneers WR Mike Evans in joint practice — claiming he’d choose any wideout in coverage over the new Steelers cornerback. "Easy money," Nelson said on an Instagram story. "Take the over on whatever wide receiver [Ramsey] guards."

Nelson has previously expressed great dissatisfaction with how his time in Pittsburgh ended, citing a severe lack of communication ahead of the Steelers releasing him in 2021. It was also surprising due to the former Chiefs defensive back being younger than Joe Haden, whom the Steelers opted to keep.
