Baltimore Ravens: Which young defensive end will step up?

After a strong showing in 2016 that saw the Baltimore Ravens rank 7th in the league in yards per game, Ozzie Newsome loaded up on defensive talent through free agency and the draft.

The defense has been retooled and reloaded but there is one thing everyone is wondering: Who will start for the Baltimore Raven’s defensive line? The only certainty is nose tackle Brandon Williams will return for his fifth-season after signing a five-year extension this offseason. The two spots next to him are wide-open for competition.

Two names stand out among the rest for the Baltimore Ravens: Bronson Kaufusi and Chris Wormley.
