Perhaps no player for the Baltimore Ravens is at more of a crossroads season than third-year inside linebacker Trenton Simpson.
The 2023 third-round pick out of Clemson entered his second season a year ago with the hopes of filling in for the departed Pro Bowler Patrick Queen at weakside linebacker. Following a rocky start to the season, Simpson was benched in favor of Malik Harrison and Chris Board. With both Harrison and Board leaving in free agency this offseason, Simpson once again has a shot at the starting role.
All-Pro inside linebacker Roquan Smith spoke glowingly about his potential running mate when asked about Simpson’s growth ahead of his third season.
