Mic'd-up Tom Brady and Jalen Ramsey shared an incredibly classy postgame exchange
"You're the GOAT for real."
There are few players in the NFL more known for trash talk than Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Just think back to 2018 when a GQ feature story about him basically turned into a breakdown of Ramsey’s trash talk for every NFL quarterback.
But there were a few quarterbacks whom Ramsey had kind words for, and Tom Brady was deservedly one of them.
That respect was clear even when the two players met face-to-face on Sunday.
NFL Films captured mic’d-up footage of the postgame conversation between Ramsey and Brady. The Buccaneers had just defeated the Rams, 34-24, but Ramsey had to let Brady know just how much respect he has for him.

The exchange went like this …
Ramsey: Hey man, I respect you so much.
Brady: Same here, man.
Ramsey: I just love playing against you, man. It’s an honor, man.
Brady: Same here.
Ramsey: You’re the GOAT for real.
The Rams also had Ramsey mic’d up for the entire game.

It’s pretty cool to see that side of Ramsey, honestly.
