Interviewers asked Ramsey about his opinions on different NFL players. He could not hold his tongue. Maybe even made many players mad. About Matthew Stafford, he had a lukewarm response. “I think he’s straight. I don’t think he the best quarterback out there,” Ramsey told GQ. “But he do what he gotta do.”

In response to that, Kelly Stafford hopped on Instagram to post a story. She posted, “Can someone tell me why [GQ magazine] is interviewing [Jalen Ramsey]? I understand espn…but not GQ…there is nothing “GQ” about him,” Kelly wrote. “Just seems like a complete waste of time and space.”

Ramsey is also known for his mean trash-talk. In the GQ interview, he talked against many noteworthy players. For instance, he compared the former Rams WR Odell Beckham to the New York Giants iron man, Eli Manning. The interviewee believed OBJ is better than Manning. Reporters asked Manning about Ramsey’s critiques, and the QB asked in a saucy manner, “Who?”

Well, in recent years, Ramsey was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 2019. Yes, the same team Matthew Stafford won his first Super Bowl with. Have they gone on to become good buddies? It seems like they have. Or at least Jalen Ramsey appreciates Matthew Stafford the way his wife wanted him to.
