The Tennessee Titans may dip into their own back yard with the first pick of the NFL Draft with Florida State star Jalen Ramsey.

The former Brentwood Academy star is the top rated defensive back in this years’ draft and played both safety and cornerback for the Seminoles.

There is no doubt he is a special player and a top five talent, but defensive backs simply have not gone first overall.

The 6-foot, 200 pound track star hopes to end all of that. Ramsey said Sunday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, “that’s what I’m going for. I’m a competitor, I want to be in that number one spot.”

Ramsey said he would play “whatever” position a team needed, but if he went number one there is no doubt it would be at cornerback for the Titans who have holes to fill in their secondary.

He’s hoping being the “local” kid helps when that first pick comes in saying, “I hope so. I’m just blessed to be in this situation, so wherever I go, I’ll play the best I can. The team that takes me will get the best have.”

While Ramsey played in high school at Brentwood Academy he is a Smyrna native and says the Titans were his team growing up, “That’s what came on, Channel 2, so I would always watch the Titans.”
