Lowndes Viking Alumni

Former Viking Jay Ratliff Stars in NFL
Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff is fearless.

He is relentless. He is tenacious. He is passionate.

And if you need another reason why Ratliff is starting to challenge, if not take, linebacker DeMarcus Ware’s title as best player on the Cowboys’ defense, it’s because he never backs down.

At least not until talk turns to him. Praise and adulation turns the mighty Ratliff meek.

He abhors it.

“I just want to do well. I don’t want to be the weak link on the team or anything like that. It’s as simple as that,” Ratliff said, matter of factly.

“That’s why I want to do well. I want to win games and I want to contribute to the team. … To be honest, yeah, I do. That’s enough about that.”
