The total rundown on new Bucs EDGE Jose Ramirez
The Buccaneers used their last pick on an edge rusher from their home state who did not play premier competition but has tremendous upside and athletic talent.
Here’s a little bit about Tampa Bay EDGE Jose Ramirez:
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 242 lbs
Age: 24
Hometown: Lake Alfred, Florida
Scouting Report (Dane Brugler, the Athletic): “A two-year starter at Eastern Michigan, Ramirez played an edge-rushing role in former defensive coordinator Neal Neathery’s four-man front. After not putting his hand in the ground until juco, he was consistently productive in Ypsilanti with 31.5 tackles for loss in 25 games the last two seasons, leading the FBS in sacks per game (1.0) in 2022. With his arc athleticism and active hands to adjust mid-play, Ramirez rushes like a mad man, and it’s a matter of when, not if, he finds his way to the pocket. He can be engulfed and lose contain as an edge setter, but his natural instincts usually lead him to the football in pursuit. Overall, offenses will find success running to his side of the field, but Ramirez gets the quarterback off schedule with his relentless pass-rush sequence. He projects best standing up as a rotational edge rusher.”
