This year, Baltimore was hoping to give Jackson more help, so he didn’t have to be Superman every time he took the field. That’s why the Ravens signed Sammy Watkins (and aggressively pursued other top free-agent wide receivers). That’s why Baltimore drafted Rashod Bateman in the first round and bucked up for better blocking with right guard Kevin Zeitler.
Dobbins was a huge part of that calculation, too. Entering his sophomore year, he was going to bring another dynamic to Baltimore’s offense as a homerun threat as a runner and pass-catcher out of the backfield. Behind Jackson, Dobbins might have been Baltimore’s biggest offensive threat, though Mark Andrews and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown would have something to say about that.
