​Houston Texans safety Kamari Ramsey treats every play like it could be his last.His level of focus and dedication has the fifth-round pick out of the University of Southern California on the cusp of locking down a roster spot with the NFL’s No. 1-ranked defense.Ramsey traveled a long road to get here, and it started when he was young.”It helped me become the person I am,” he said. “With sacrifice and hard work.”Ramsey didn’t do it alone.Many days his mom drove him two hours each way so he could play youth football in California, and the schedule was unrelenting.”Wake up around 4:30, 4:40 in the morning. You have yourself ready to save more time,” he said.When that league turned out to be a bad fit, Ramsey and his family connected with the Santa Clarita Grizzlies and their coach, former Houston Oiler Tony Brown.Ramsey credits Brown and the Grizzlies for helping him discover the joy of playing football.”I wouldn’t be there without them,” Ramsey said. “They brought the life back into football for me.”Ramsey’s impressive showing in training camp isn’t lost on veteran Calen Bullock. He calls Ramsey a “dog,” and that’s a great endorsement.Ramsey announced his presence with an interception in the first preseason game. He hopes for more so he can represent his family and everyone who helped him get to the NFL. His goal is simple: to make them proud.
