Former Alabama star defensive lineman [autotag]Marcell Dareus[/autotag] is getting another shot in the NFL, this time with the Baltimore Ravens.
The former No. 3 overall selection in the 2011 NFL draft is currently working out for the Ravens during their 2022 rookie minicamp which also includes a pair of Alabama rookies in [autotag]Jalyn Amour-Davis[/autotag] and [autotag]Slade Bolden[/autotag].
Dareus has not seen any action in the NFL since 2019 when he played for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Although Dareus has battled injuries throughout his NFL career, he still has some eye-popping stats. Through nine seasons, the defensive tackle from Birmingham has been selected to two Pro Bowls, has been named a First-Team All-Pro, notched 37.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumbles recovered, and has 365 combined tackles in 121 games.
Dareus became a fan favorite for the Tide when he intercepted a pass in the 2009 BCS title game against Texas and took it to the house for six.
DT Marcell Dareus, a former first-round pick, and WR Geronimo Allison are among the tryouts at Ravens rookie minicamp, John Harbaugh told reporters.
Dareus last played in the NFL in 2019. Allison played 3 games for the Lions last season.
