Ten second-year NFL players set to explode in 2017

NFL stars like Derrick Henry are set to explode in 2018

6. Jalen Ramsey, cornerback, Jacksonville Jaguars

Jalen Ramsey

Ramsey did not disappoint as the fifth-overall pick by Jacksonville in 2016. He started in 16 games and managed two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He also defended 14 passes, forced a fumble and tallied 65 total tackles.

We have included Ramsey here because of the high ceiling for potential. The Jaguars’ passing defense improved from 29th in 2015 to No. 5 in 2016. Ramsey should further bust out and could work his way into a top-10 defensive back throughout the course of the 2017 season.

Pro Football Focus rated him 22nd among the 2016 cornerbacks. There is plenty of growth to be had looking ahead for the former 2015 Consensus All-America player.
