Ravens don’t view Odafe Oweh as a project, expect him to contribute immediately

When a highly-drafted rookie doesn't set the world on fire in their first taste of NFL action, doubters often emerge from and prematurely criticize them for not producing eye popping stats. That's exactly what CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso did when he labeled Baltimore Ravens rookie outside linebacker, Odafe Oweh, the most disappointing first-round rookie through the first two weeks of the preseason.

The Ravens selected Oweh with the No. 31 overall pick out of Penn State in this year’s draft. The former Nittany Lion was widely viewed as a developmental prospect with elite athleticism but needed some polish and refinement.
