OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Odafe Oweh noticed something different at a recent offseason practice. When he pushed off blockers, they flew backward.
Oweh put on 20 pounds this offseason, transforming into a more powerful pass rusher. He went from 245 pounds to 265, which is the heaviest he has ever been.
The decision to bulk up came immediately after last season. Oweh finished with one tackle -- including no sacks or quarterback hits -- in the 27-25 AFC divisional playoff loss at the Buffalo Bills.
