Jalen Ramsey couldn't contain his excitement upon learning he'd been traded by the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday night.

"I'm filled with joy. I'm overjoyed right now. God is the greatest. God makes no mistakes at all," Ramsey said in his first public statement since the trade on Uninterrupted's "17 Weeks" podcast.

Ramsey asked for a trade out of Jacksonville in mid-September and finally got his wish after missing the past three weeks with what was listed as a back injury.

The star cornerback said he can't wait to take the field with the Rams' vaunted defense.

"I'm excited to get out there and do my thing for the LA Rams and show them that they got the best corner in the whole NFL for years and years to come," he said.

"I was so blessed to be drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016, fifth overall pick, but now I have a new chapter starting in my life."
