Former Steelers CB Steven Nelson fires brutal shot at Jalen Ramsey

It’s safe to say not everyone is excited about Jalen Ramsey’s addition to the Steelers’ defense — as a cornerback from Pittsburgh’s past roasted him on social media.

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’s sour grapes should be taken with a grain of salt, as the former Steelers cornerback didn’t have the smoothest of exits from Pittsburgh — dropping a fiery tweet on social media before his release.

"Making a public announcement is a little out of my character, but you guys made your decision, please don’t hold me hostage," Nelson posted via X on March 23, 2021.

It remains to be seen if Ramsey, one of the most outspoken defenders in the NFL, will take the high road in response to Nelson's criticism — but we at Steelers Wire will keep you all updated as more information becomes available.
