After being a favorite in Ann Arbor and having a solid start to his NFL career, former Michigan LB/DE Jake Ryan is on the move yet again.
The former Wolverines standout got his start in Green Bay where he started in 27 of 43 game appearances, but he then signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he’s only seen the field in two games due to injury.
Now healthy, Ryan is looking for a new opportunity, and he found one in one of the nation’s premier franchises where defense is a focal point. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Ryan signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, coached by Jim Harbaugh’s older brother John.
Given the Ravens penchant for defense, should Ryan be able to rebound health-wise, he’ll have a great opportunity to re-make a name for himself at the pro-level.

Ryan’s arrival in Baltimore comes in the same offseason that his former teammate in Ann Arbor, defensive end Chris Wormley, departs, as the Ravens traded him to rival Pittsburgh last month.
In 45 games in the NFL, Ryan has 213 tackles, 15 for loss and one sack.
