Zachary Orr Has Close Eye On Starting Linebacker Spot
The former undrafted linebacker took a heavy dose of the first-team reps during the offseason program. He will have to compete with rookie Kamalei Correa and former second-round pick Arthur Brown for the job.
When the players packed up their lockers at the end of the last season, inside linebacker Zachary Orr made it known he had eyes on a bigger role for 2016.
“I’m shooting for a starting spot,” he said in January.
Orr made that declaration even before the Ravens parted ways with veteran linebacker Daryl Smith, the team’s leading tackler. The Ravens cut Smith two months later, opening the starting linebacker spot next to C.J. Mosley, and Orr has made a strong case to earn that job.
