The Baltimore Ravens have a history of drafting elite pass-rushers, and without jinxing it too much, rookie Odafe Oweh could be set for a solid season in 2021.

We know, it’s not a very controversial opinion.

Some NFL analysts have predicted that Oweh would lead all rookies in sacks in 2021, but we wouldn’t go that far. Given that Oweh only had seven sacks throughout his collegiate career, he probably won’t stand out as a sack extraordinaire in Year 1.

That being said, sacks account for only one measure of a pass-rusher’s effectiveness.
