Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald are defensive cornerstones
When it comes to two-player tandems on defense, the Rams might have the best in the NFL. Donald is undeniably the top interior defender in the NFL, while Ramsey is among the league’s elite cornerbacks. Having two players of their caliber is a huge advantage for the Rams, especially with the defense potentially losing a few starters in Cory Littleton, Michael Brockers and Dante Fowler Jr.
The best way to build a top defense is by having a shutdown cornerback and a consistent pass rusher. Los Angeles has both, which is a recipe for success on that side of the ball. Even if Fowler and Littleton leave, Donald and Ramsey will remain as cornerstones of the defense. They make everyone around them better.
