The Baltimore Ravens are off to a disappointing 1-2 start. Amid this poor start, defense and protection have been the two key issues. However, one bright spot on the offensive line has been center Tyler Linderbaum. The Iowa product has been one of the league's best centers throughout his four-year career, and that trend has continued despite the Ravens' poor line play.
Notably, Linderbaum has a Pro Football Focus (PFF) grade of 82.7, which ranks first among centers. Ronnie Stanley is the only other Ravens' lineman with a PFF grade above 70, with the other three starters ranging from a 43.
