Ravens’ Kyle Van Noy has high praise for 2nd-year LB Tavius Robinson

Ravens outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy heaped praise on outside linebacker Tavius Robinson

The Baltimore Ravens will look for multiple players to step up in their outside linebacker room during the 2024 season. The team lost outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney to the Carolina Panthers in free agency, paving the way for younger players to take over his snaps and contribute.

One of the edge rushers expected to take on a much more significant role this upcoming year is second-year player Tavius Robinson. When asked what Robinson can bring to the table, fellow outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy praised the former Ole Miss star, saying that he’s getting better every day.

“Honestly, [he’s] getting better every day. I know that’s cliche to say, but he’s honestly getting better each and every day. He’s doing the right things. Every time you understand concepts and defenses, you graduate from football 101 to football 102, [and] you’re going to see improvements. I think his familiarity of understanding the defense more and more each day, he’s allowed to play faster, play with more confidence and swagger. I think that’s what we’re going to see this year.”

Robinson played a much bigger role during his rookie season than anticipated, finishing the year with 26 total tackles and one sack while also defending the run well. His development could be key for a Ravens defense that needs their younger contributors to step up, with Robinson hopefully being one of those options.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers, LB Tavius Robinson attend Blue Jays game

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers and outside linebacker Tavius Robinson attended a Toronto Blue Jays game over the weekend

The Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles have a bond by city that can never be broken. The two franchises are sure to include one another in multiple ways, from player crossovers to good luck wishes.

Over the weekend, two second-year Ravens players attended an MLB game, but not in Baltimore for the Orioles. Wide receiver Zay Flowers and outside linebacker Tavius Robinson attended a Toronto Blue Jays game, and the team posted pictures of the two throughout their experience with the Orioles’ AL East rival.

Robinson is from Guelph, Canada, and seems to have taken Flowers along for the ride with him here. Both seemed to enjoy themselves at the game, but to the chagrin of Ravens fans everywhere, who also double as Orioles fans.

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.

 

Ravens’ 2023 rookie class ranked middle of the pack among all 32 teams

Baltimore Ravens’ 2023 rookie class ranked 17th among all 32 teams

The first season for the 2023 NFL rookie class is now in the books.

Using one year of data, CBS Sport’s Chris Trapasso ranked all 32 team’s draft classes.

The Baltimore Ravens landed at No. 17, with first-round wide receiver Zay Flowers listed as the sole Year 1 hit.

“Flowers made noticeable contributions to the Ravens boosted passing attack,” Trapasso wrote. “His 21 missed tackles forced was fourth among all receivers in football in 2023. After his selection in the first round, Baltimore, with an uncharacteristically small class, didn’t get much impact, and a fifth-round pick, cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly, didn’t even make the team out of camp.”

Several players from the 2023 class could be in line for expanded roles this season. Most noticeably, third-round pick Trenton Simpson will likely replace free agent Patrick Queen as an inside linebacker next to Roquan Smith. Simpson flashed his speed and playmaking ability against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final game of the regular season.

Seventh-round pick Andrew Vorhees could be in line to compete for a starting spot as both right guard Kevin Zeitler and left guard John Simpson are set to hit free agency. Baltimore traded back into the seventh round to select Vorhees after he slid down the board due to a torn ACL he suffered at the combine.

Sixth-round pick Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu could also compete for one of the guard positions, while fourth-round pick Tavius Robinson could be in line for a more significant workload at outside linebacker after notching one sack as a rookie.

Ten players who could have bigger roles for Ravens in 2024

We’re looking at ten players who could have bigger roles for the Baltimore Ravens in 2024

The Ravens are amid a Super Bowl window, but there are huge decisions to make regarding All-Pros Justin Madubuike and Patrick Queen.

There are numerous free agents at the wide receiver and cornerback positions, while several players could be released for salary cap purposes.

Where things currently stand, Baltimore is expected to have roughly $7,328,828 in cap space via OverTheCap, the 20th most in the NFL.

That number could grow if the team opts to part ways with some expensive contracts (perhaps Ronnie Stanley or Marlon Humphrey.

Currently, the Ravens have 48 players under contract for the 2024 season, and we’re looking at ten contributors who could have more prominent roles.

The Ravens 2023 rookie class had their jersey numbers revealed

The Baltimore Ravens secured their six player 2023 draft class over the course of the past week, with each player hopefully being able to contribute both now and in the future. The team added at positions of need while also selecting some of the best players available, shaping their 2023 draft class in a very unique way.

On Friday, the team announced that their six-player class has officially chosen their jersey numbers. Wide receiver Zay Flowers will wear No. 4, linebacker Trenton Simpson will wear No. 30, outside linebacker Tavius Robinson will suit up in No. 95, cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly will wear No. 17, offensive lineman Malaesala Aumavae–Laulu will wear No. 71 and offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees will wear No. 72.

Flowers wore No. 4 in college, so it’s no surprise he stuck with the same number in the NFL. Simpson goes from No. 22 at Clemson to No. 30 as a Raven. Robinson wore 95 at Ole Miss and he wanted that number again in the pros. Kelly also wore No. 17 at Stanford, while Aumavae-Laulu and Vorhees are sticking to the same numbers they wore in college as well.
