New England Patriots: 3 bold predictions for Stephon Gilmore in 2019
A better season than Jalen Ramsey
Stephon Gilmore is no Jalen Ramsey, he will simply be better than the Jacksonville Jaguars star cornerback in 2019.
The reason why is not based on talent, it is based on the work ethic Gilmore mentioned in the slide above. While Ramsey has been outspoken and making predictions throughout his young NFL career, Gilmore has been the quiet counterpart who simply does his talking on the field.
Though the two exchanged jabs through the media in 2018, expect Stephon Gilmore to continue to take the high road when it comes to this budding player rivalry.
Furthermore, unlike Jalen Ramsey, the New England Patriots cornerback is not feeding off past accomplishments. He knows it’s a new year and time to once again prove himself as a shutdown cornerback. The No. 22 ranking on the NFL’s Top 100 list means nothing if he isn’t as good in 2019.
