While the Baltimore Ravens boast one of the most talented teams in the NFL in 2025, they also have several players facing immense pressure. Both the offense and defense have key starters heading into the regular season with their jobs on the line, and they must take a step forward if they want to stick around.
If they do take that step forward, then they could quickly become the team’s X-factor this year. With a loaded roster, the majority of the attention is centered around superstars like Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and Kyle Hamilton. However, linebacker Trenton Simpson could be a key difference maker, and he could help put an end to any defensive struggles that may be carrying over from the 2024 campaign.
