Former Los Angeles Rams All-Pro cornerback and Super Bowl champion Jalen Ramsey took to social media to praise former Rams defensive line coach and new USC co-defensive coordinator Eric Henderson. Ramsey praised Henderson on social media, giving him a massive endorsement for developing talent, especially young men.
"[I know] the college landscape is different with NIL, but I hope these recruits keep the priorities in order," Ramsey said. "Being coached by men who have proven to be good coaches [and] will help your game be as successful as possible should still be the key!" wrote Ramsey. "Henny obviously has been around [and] directly coached the absolute best on [an] NFL level. [Deion Sanders] of course can give valuable lessons [and] coaching. Tim Walton at Ohio State coached me in the league along with others who had a lot of success under his coaching [and] lessons. I'm sure there are a few I'm missing [and] a lot more really good coaches, but I'm just venting lol."
Ramsey also added advice for parents when it comes to coaches like Henderson.
Oh & start fact checking these coaches bcuz there are always some who were AROUND so they try to claim they developed the guy but really didn’t do a thing! All the coaches who really leave them impacts, you’ll hear it from their former players. Just ask to be connected https://t.co/uASBOm7rHK

The former Rams defensive line coach from the last seven seasons responded to Ramsey's praise via Twitter/X.
Wow! When Your players genuinely mention things like this out of the blue just confirms that you’re doing things right!

This praise from Ramsey comes after he toured the USC campus on Friday evening and caught up with coach Henderson. Ramsey and Henderson were together in the Royal Blue and Sol for three-plus seasons. Both accomplished great things in L.A. together, including capturing Super Bowl 56.
Henderson left the Rams after the 2023 season to become the new co-defensive coordinator for the USC Trojans.
