The Baltimore Ravens will look for multiple players to step up in their outside linebacker room during the 2024 season. The team lost outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney to the Carolina Panthers in free agency, paving the way for younger players to take over his snaps and contribute.
One of the edge rushers expected to take on a much more significant role this upcoming year is second-year player Tavius Robinson. When asked what Robinson can bring to the table, fellow outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy praised the former Ole Miss star, saying that he’s getting better every day.
“Honestly, [he’s] getting better every day. I know that’s cliche to say, but he’s honestly getting better each and every day. He’s doing the right things. Every time you understand concepts and defenses, you graduate from football 101 to football 102, [and] you’re going to see improvements. I think his familiarity of understanding the defense more and more each day, he’s allowed to play faster, play with more confidence and swagger. I think that’s what we’re going to see this year.”
Robinson played a much bigger role during his rookie season than anticipated, finishing the year with 26 total tackles and one sack while also defending the run well. His development could be key for a Ravens defense that needs their younger contributors to step up, with Robinson hopefully being one of those options.
