Earlier this month, Baltimore Beatdown asked fans which rookie Raven has the best chance to win a Rookie of the Year award. Overwhelmingly, fans believed if any of their rookie class had a chance, it was second-round outside linebacker Mike Green.
I myself stated Green had the best chance, too, seeing as seven of the past ten winners were edge rushers and the remaining three were cornerbacks. Defensive awards are all about gaudy stats rather than what isn’t reflected from the numbers. But Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr is a believer that first-round safety Malaki Starks will be the winner.
