The Baltimore Ravens have a massive amount of talent up and down their roster that is set to play a key part in their 2022 season. On offense, defense and special teams they can rely on multiple different players to make a positive impact, both now and in the future.
One of those players is quarterback Lamar Jackson, but when predicting each AFC team’s non-quarterback most valuable player candidate for the 2022 season, Kevin Patra of NFL.com named tight end Mark Andrews as his choice for Baltimore. There’s a big likelihood that Andrews could lead the Ravens in receiving, but Patra says there’s a chance he could threaten to lead the entire league.
“Zero tight ends in NFL history have won an NFL MVP award. Z-E-R-O. That makes Andrews perfect for our exercise. LET’S MAKE HISTORY. Andrews led all TEs in receptions (107), receiving yards (1,361), and TDs (nine; tied) in 2021. Among all players, he finished tied for fifth in receptions and sixth in yards. And that was before the Ravens whittled their receiver corps to Rashod Bateman and Riddler-level question marks. Andrews is assured of getting a smorgasbord of targets from Lamar Jackson. Not only has the tight end proven to be a good route runner, but he also can make contested snags in close quarters. Given the uncertainty at receiver in Baltimore, would it be that much of a stunner if Andrews threatened to lead the NFL in receiving?”
