5 Ravens players facing make-or-break seasons in 2024

After an exciting offseason, things are quiet at the Under Armour Performance Center.

Baltimore’s players are off until the start of training camp, which this year comes early. Rookies report on July 13, and veterans report on July 20.

The Ravens will look to use the disappointment from the AFC Championship game loss to the Chiefs as motivation for a 17-game marathon in the toughest division in the NFL. Baltimore has plenty of players who’ll need to step up, and we’re looking at five players facing make-or-break seasons.

Ojabo, a former second-round pick, was an obvious choice for this list, as he has been limited to five games over his first two seasons.

Still, he offers pass rush prowess, and Baltimore could struggle to lead the NFL in sacks again.

The defensive tackle started five games after signing a three-year contract extension in the offseason, but his defensive snap rate dropped from 52 percent to 38 percent to 33 percent over the last three weeks.

Washington had 12 tackles and a fumble recovery in 2023 and will be counted on to replace Clowney’s production.

The 24-year-old cornerback landed on injured reserve in December and has struggled to stay on the field throughout his two-year NFL career, appearing in just 12 of Baltimore’s 32 games.

The Alabama product has been solid on special teams and could break out in 2024.

Harrison, who was re-signed to a one-year deal this offseason, will battle Trenton Simpson for Patrick Queen’s inside linebacker spot.

The 6-foot-3, 259-pound hybrid can play the edge and play on the inside at linebacker. He played in 14 games last season, including eight starts, and made 20 tackles. He has made 120 tackles over his four-year career and played in all but six games.

The 2021 third-round pick has played well when given the opportunity, but he’s never been able to lock down a starting spot. Baltimore has two offensive guard spots open and now is Cleveland’s best shot.

You can never have enough wide receiver talent, and if the season started today, Baltimore would have a solid trio in Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor, and Rashod Bateman.

Tylan Wallace is a special teams standout, and Deonte Harty has been a Pro Bowl return specialist. Ryan could be the odd man out after a strong 2023 training camp.

Ravens rookie pass rusher Adisa Isaac named one of the “Elite” round 3 picks by PFF

The Baltimore Ravens added more depth at the outside linebacker position by selecting Penn State’s Adisa Isaac with the No. 93 overall pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Isaac was labeled one of the three “Elite” picks from the third round by PFF.

Isaac was a productive pass rusher at the collegiate level, racking up 11.5 sacks in his final two seasons as a Nittany Lion. Isaac will join former teammate Odafe Oweh now with the Ravens to round out an outside linebacker group consisting of Kyle Van Noy, David Ojabo, Tavius Robinson, and Malik Hamm.

The Ravens will need to fill the sizeable void left by veteran outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney after he departed to sign with the Carolina Panthers in free agency. Isaac will have an opportunity to earn playing time early on in first-year defensive coordinator Zachary Orr’s defense.
