What's the difference between arrogance and confidence? Confidence is based in reality. And the reality is this: Jalen Ramsey probably is the best player in the draft, meaning, yes, he's confident. It's the type of confidence that's born out of a 6'1" frame with 4.41 speed and a 41.5" vertical. The type of confidence that comes after spending three years at Florida State, where he was the first true freshman to start at cornerback since Deion Sanders did it in 1985, using his frightening athleticism to shut down opposing offenses—and help FSU to a National Championship in 2013. In Chicago tonight, he won't go first overall. (A quarterback can save a franchise; a defensive back cannot.) But that doesn't make what he says any less true. Oh, and did we mention he cares about clothes?

Most important question first: How you feeling about the draft-day suit?

I feel good about it. It's the little details in the suit that's gonna make it really pop out.

You accessorizing with any lucky items?

Not really. It's a feel thing for me. I have to feel like I look good, and then I'll be good. If not, then I'll go through, like, ten wardrobe changes. When I'm getting ready for a game, that's how I am. I start off with the shoes. I'm a sneakerhead, so I start off with the shoes. Probably J's.

And how do you decide what you’re wearing for games?

I wear different stuff every day in practice. If I practice good, with what I wore on Monday, then that's what I'll wear on [game day].

So if you somehow manage to go number one in this suit, you're going to be wearing it forever.

Yeah! Exactly. It'll be lucky for me.

You have any backup suits?

I'm 99.9% positive on my draft suit right now. The only thing I'm debating are the shoes I'm gonna wear. I got two different options of shoes. But I do have two backup [suits] just in case I want to mix and match or change.

And they’re all coming to Chicago?

They're all coming.

Who do you trust to give you style advice? Who's going to help you make that shoe choice?

I'm just gonna trust myself. I'll ask my mom what she thinks about it, but it's gonna be a feel thing. If I feel like it looks good, then I'm gonna wear it, even if somebody else thinks something else might look better.

"I should go number one because I'm the best player in the draft...played safety, got All-American; played nickel, got All-American; played corner, got consensus All-American."

Who’s your all-time sports style icon?

I'm kinda biased on this, because I'm a D-Wade fan. But I like D-Wade on his game days. But also, of course, Primetime [Deion Sanders]. His style, he was flashy but he was trendy.

The NBA is known as the most stylish league. Think the NFL can catch it?

The only reason I don't is because the NBA, they just have so many more opportunities. They have 82 games. So they have more opportunities to bring out a certain style, they can bring out a different look every single time. I don't think the NFL will be able to catch it. But I think big statements can be made at the right time.

Make the case for why you should go #1.

I should go number one because I'm the best player in the draft. There's not a player in this draft class who started every single game since they been in college; won a national championship; won two conference championships; played safety, got All-American; played nickel, got All-American; played corner, got consensus All-American. Every single year, I've gotten All-American, and I've done every single special teams at Florida State. No starter in this draft class can say they've played every single special teams, every single year. They can't say that. Just my résumé, honestly, and what I've shown and what I've put on that field, nobody else can match up to.
