OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Recent history said it wasn't a sure thing that Ronnie Stanley would develop into a top offensive tackle after the Baltimore Ravens selected him with the No. 6 overall pick.
Of the 17 offensive tackles picked in the top 10 from 2005 to 2015, only three -- the Cleveland Browns' Joe Thomas, the Dallas Cowboys' Tyron Smith and the Miami Dolphins' Jake Long -- have been named first-team All-Pro.
The Ravens have seen enough out of Stanley in two seasons to believe he could crash that party.
