Here's what has happened to Jalen Ramsey since the explosive DB and intriguing player to watch for this upcoming NFL season told GQ he should be drafted with the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft:

He did not go #1.

Instead, he went a still impressive #5 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, after the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, San Diego Chargers, and Dallas Cowboys passed on his talents. He wasn't upset to slide past Los Angeles and San Diego—"Those state taxes kill you!"—but he had a feeling he'd go to the Cowboys. Since they passed on him, he had some fun at their expense recently...

...but says that everything worked out for the best with his going to Jacksonville.

The morning following the draft he got to fly with his mom and dad on a private jet for the first time. Since, he's been settling into Jacksonville where he's got a new place and a man cave that is "really nice and would be my spot if I had any furniture in it. But I don't."

He was given the highest Madden rating (82) of any NFL rookie, which he says is dope because "now I don’t have to create myself and make myself better on the game. I’m already decent." But he made sure to note that once the season starts he'll be paying attention to make sure they are updating his ratings accordingly.

In real life, things have not gone quite as smoothly. Much to his chagrin, he was assigned jersey #38, which he says either belongs on a safety or "you got to have dreads to wear." After not being able to convince teammate James Sample to give up the coveted Jordan #23, he settled for #20 instead.

Coming off a recent knee surgery to repair a meniscus tear, Ramsey has been limited in training camp and was held out of the Jaguars first preseason game against the Jets, the first time he's had to sit out a game "since forever" (more specifically, he tells us it's the first time since he sat out his sophomore season in high school). But he says that now, health-wise, he's a nine out of 10 and for Jaguars fans not to worry: "I know by the time September 11 rolls around and it’s time to play the Packers, I’ll be 100% for sure."

We caught up with the rookie as he was waiting for some furniture to be delivered, before heading off to a dentist appointment—the oh so sexy trappings of a glamorous NFL lifestyle—as he gave us six highlights of his rookie life right now.
