Accomplished NFL star Jalen Ramsey has revealed the ‘grimy’ girlfriend trick he used while at Florida State – he would send direct messages to opposing players’ girlfriends before big games.
Ramsey would do his research for the underhanded and unique tactic, looking up offensive players’ social-media profiles and finding photos with their significant others.
Once the identity of a quarterback or wide receiver’s girlfriend was evident, Ramsey got to typing. Then he would mention it on the field when helmet to helmet with the upset gridiron boyfriend.
‘In college, like when I was at Florida State, I was grimy, like super grimy, I didn’t care,’ Ramsey said of his pregame tactics. ‘I would look up his Instagram, see his girlfriend or whatever, boom boom boom, slide in her DMs. We get to the game, I’m bringing it up in the game.’
Ramsey also gave the impression some of the players’ girlfriends would correspond with him while in a relationship.
While Ramsey may no longer use social media for mental warfare, he is known as one of the NFL’s biggest trash talkers, with his personal and professional lives colliding a few times on the gridiron.

There was no better example of Ramsey’s antics than a 2020 brawl with wide receiver Golden Tate over a long-running family feud.
Ramsey has two children with Tate’s sister, Breanna, but the couple broke up while she was pregnant with their second child.
When Ramsey posted a photo on social media with his new girlfriend, dancer Monica Giavanna, last October, Golden Tate responded to a fan’s comment with ‘he know he gonna have to see me.’ Ramsey and Giavanna are now believed to have also split.
And the personal animosity between the two players exploded after the October 2020 clash between the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Rams
The former Giants wide receiver and then-Rams cornerback exchanged blows near midfield and had to be separated by teammates and coaches.
Tate and Ramsey walked toward each other as the game ended and both took swings before going down to the turf. TMZ also reported Ramsey also waited outside of the locker room after the game for Tate.
Ramsey now plays for the Miami Dolphins, while Tate has not taken an NFL snap since the 2020 season.
