8 UDFAs most likely to make Ravens’ 53-man roster

The Baltimore Ravens have a history of finding gold in their UDFA class. But which ones can really make the Ravens’ roster in 2020?

WILLIAM BRETZGER, The News Journal

OLB John Daka

This is the perfect case of a player with insane production that likely got lost in the shuffle thanks to being from a small school.

Daka is considered undersized for a pass rusher at 6-foot-2 and 227 pounds. But that lack of prototypical size hasn’t hurt his stats, posting 28 tackles for a loss, four forced fumbles, and 16.5 sacks in 2019.

Daka isn’t going to win many strength contests against offensive linemen but he’s electric around the edge. With good instincts and more-than-capable speed, Daka could be a really intriguing hybrid inside/outside linebacker in Baltimore’s scheme. He can rush on the outside and be deadly on late blitzes inside while having sideline-to-sideline speed in run support.

With outside linebacker being one of Baltimore’s most shallow positions right now, you can’t eliminate any of them. But a highly athletic player with incredible production will always get a little closer of a look, especially in a defensive scheme that covets versatility.
