The Baltimore Ravens’ pass rush had an up-and-down 2022 season, and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh spoke to reporters about his role and how he wants to play the game during the team’s end-of-season press conference. He mentioned multiple aspects of his game that he feels he can hone in on and improve upon.
While Oweh struggled to put together a solid second-season, he still has plenty of upside, and flashed some of it towards the back end of the season. Asked if his performance at the end of the year was reflective of his long-term development goals as a pass rusher, Oweh answered in the affirmative.
“Yes. I just try to play fast, if he was in my way, try to move off the speed and stuff like that. That’s how I want to play the game. I’m not a big move guy, I just try to use my athleticism, and it’s going to work for me. Just honing in on that – getting stronger, being faster – it’s going to all tie in together.”
Oweh’s trajectory seemed to be pointed sky-high after a productive season in 2021, but his subpar 2022 season has fans wondering what steps he can take moving forward. During his third season in the league in 2023, Oweh be just 25 years of age, with plenty of time to unlock the potential he showed as a rookie that got him drafted in the first round in 2021.
