Jalen Ramsey could have eased into training camp this summer. After a long, grueling season culminating in a Super Bowl title, the All-Pro cornerback could have rested his body and his surgically repaired shoulders during the Los Angeles Rams' 2 1/2 weeks at UC Irvine.

Instead, Ramsey was right in the middle of his teammates on the camp fields Monday. Although he isn't practicing, Ramsey is basically serving as another assistant coach, dispensing knowledge and tips to the Rams' younger defensive backs.

"I kind of know the playbook like the back of my hand, so that’s really why I carry the (play) script, so I can help the other guys," Ramsey said.

"I know star, corner, whatever position in the secondary," he added. "So I can know exactly the play, so I can know the certain techniques that I feel like they should have been using, or to help them, if they got beat on the play, (understand) why they got beat. I can analyze it with them as soon as they come off the field, instead of me having to wait until we get to the meeting room."

Ramsey's commitment to the Rams' overall success hasn't waned at all with a Super Bowl ring on his finger, as he made clear in his first extensive public comments on an eventful offseason.

Ramsey initially was expected to be on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start camp, which would have meant he couldn't practice. But the Rams changed course last weekend
