The Trojans will have representation in the first round of the NFL draft with Makai Lemon, as he is becoming more and more a draft crush. The Trojans still have a couple of potential draft sleepers that could end up as steals when it is all said and done.
In a recent tweet by @SleeperNFL, there is some reported interest in some former Trojan safeties from the Denver Broncos organization. Here is what @SleeperNFL had to say on the matter:
“The Broncos have interest in both USC safeties, Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald, per
@TonyPauline Denver recently hired Doug Belk away from USC to be its new defensive backs coach.”
Doug Belk was the Trojans’ defensive backs coach from 2024-25. He knows better than anyone what Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald are both capable of. There is a need for the Denver Broncos at the safety position, as Brandon Jones is recovering from a pec injury, and there is still depth needed in that position.
Kamari Ramsey had a down year last season, mostly because of injuries, but in 2024 he was as good as any safety in the country. He is a good coverage safety, he has a great amount of athleticism, and he is a willing tackler.
Bishop Fitzgerald is a ball-hawking safety. He has had no issues with interception production at every stop he has been at, and he is also a very willing run stopper. Both safeties have traits that, if developed properly, can take them to becoming star safeties in the NFL.
In the NFL, one of the best things is continuity and familiarity. For the Broncos, it would be very wise to ensure your staff has players they have familiarity with or guys they know they can get the most out of. Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald ended up with their former coach would be a best case scenario for both of them.
