One of the top-rising defensive prospects in the NFL draft pool now has a new home. Penn State defensive end Jayson Oweh was selected with the No. 31 overall pick by the Baltimore Ravens.

Oweh put on a freak show in Penn State’s pro day, which was part of the reason he was considered to have so much momentum heading into the NFL draft. Oweh had been popping up late in the first round of various mock drafts, suggesting he is viewed as a true first-round talent.
Oweh was congratulated by Micah Parsons, who was also drafted in the first round on Thursday evening.

Oweh will likely need a little bit of time to fully develop into the kind of edge rushers that will allow him to shine at the next level, but scouts have raved about the speed and burst he gets off the snap.
