The Baltimore Ravens selected outside linebacker Odafe Oweh with the 31st pick in the 2021 NFL draft. While he hasn’t had a true NFL breakout yet, he’s shown plenty of flashes that could indicate that 2024 is the year that he does so.
When talking about Oweh, defensive coordinator Zach Orr couldn’t contain his excitement about the fourth-year player. He said that there aren’t a lot of players in the league that can do what Oweh does off of the edge, and he’s excited to see where Oweh takes his season this year.
“It will be big, man. It will be big. I think ‘Daf’ [Odafe Oweh] has continued to get better every single year, and when you watch the film, there are a lot of people in this league who cannot do what he can do on the edge. That guy is so talented, and he made a lot of plays last year, so we expect him to make even more plays this year. The better ‘Daf’ is, the better we’re going to be as a [defense], and he knows that, and he’s been putting in the work. So, he’s looking better than he did last year so far, and I’m excited to see where he’s going to take it.”
With edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney now in Carolina with the Panthers, it’s even more important for Oweh to step up and contribute in a big way. He’s someone that will also need to step up as a leader, considering he’s the second-most experienced player in Baltimore’s outside linebacker room behind Kyle Van Noy,
