Overview
With All-American linebacker Luke Kuechly opting for the NFL a year early, Ramsey is expected to be the senior leader of the Eagles? defense in 2012.
Last year Ramsey was pegged by head coach Frank Spaziani as a player ready to make ?tremendous strides,? but his 2011 season was cut short due to a left foot injury he suffered in the first quarter of the season opener. The senior missed the rest of last season, earning a medical redshirt, and is expected to be healthy for the 2012 campaign.
Analysis
Ramsey is a load to handle off the snap, but doesn?t always rush the pocket with a plan and needs to play smarter with better instincts. He moves well for a 300-plus pounder, but too easily allows himself to get tied up with single blockers.
If he can stay healthy this season and keep his nose clean (suspended for a game in 2010 for violation of team rules), Ramsey has the skill-set and natural size to earn a draft pick on day three next April.

07/24/12 - Defensive tackle Kaleb Ramsey was looking forward to his senior season at Boston College in 2011, but plantar fasciitis (a painful inflammation of the tissue in the sole of the foot) in his left foot kept him off the field. “It wasn’t easy to see my team out there every weekend, knowing I should be out there helping them win,” Ramsey said. “It definitely humbled me. It made me more appreciative of the game. I realized that any second the game can be taken away from you. It just made me more hungry for this season.” Ramsey says he feels healthy and is in great shape. He has been working with a specialist to increase his flexibility and help minimize injuries. - Bill Hass, ACC football
