Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is brimming with confidence ahead of his first professional game.

Ramsey, selected fifth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, is expected to be a vital component of the Jaguars' revamped defense.

Ahead of the team's opener against the Green Bay Packers, Ramsey dared Aaron Rodgers to test him.

"I'm not scared," Ramsey said of Rodgers to ESPN's Mike DiRocco. "Throw my way if you want to."

Although Ramsey is cherishing the opportunity to square off against Rodgers, the rookie downplayed the prospect of picking off the two-time MVP.

"It'd mean a lot to me," Ramsey said. "It'll be my first NFL interception but that's not really what I'm focused on right now. I'm just focused on doing what I can do for the team."
