Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver plans to move Jalen Ramsey around more

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver has been around some extremely talented players during his time as a coach in the NFL.

From guys like Kyle Williams, Mario Williams, Marcell Dareus and Jerry Hughes in Buffalo to Calais Campbell, Justin Madubuike and Justin Houston in Baltimore, Weaver has seen some of the best in the game up close and personal.

However, Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey may be the best player he’s ever been given the opportunity to coach.

The seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro is entering his second season with Miami and is hoping to be healthy going into the year after suffering a torn meniscus in just his second training camp session with the team in 2023.

During Weaver’s first media availability on Thursday, he was specifically asked about Ramsey, and he seems ecstatic to have him around, Mike Masala of USA Today's Dolphins Wire reports.

“I mean, it’s Jalen Ramsey, come on now,” Weaver said. “You talk about prototype corners, he is that. Size, length, speed, competitiveness. The thing about him is I think he is your ultimate chess piece. So to have him just sit outside and be a field corner or boundary corner or something like that is a detriment to him. We got to find ways to move him around where he can be most impactful. We’re committed to doing that.”

Ramsey’s usage was a sticking point for many last year, as Vic Fangio refused to match him up with the opponent’s top weapon, even when the cornerback was asking for the assignment and could clearly do more for the team than whoever was tasked with guarding them at the time.
