Every NFL team’s most surprising cut candidate

Baltimore Ravens — Justice Hill

Going back to the running back well, the Baltimore Ravens have used a ton of them in the last few years. Last year, the Ravens had JK Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill, and Mike Davis taking snaps. On name alone, that’s a loaded backfield. The year before was even crazier, adding Devonta Freeman, Latavius Murray, Le’Veon Bell, and Ty’Son Williams when injuries ravished the running back room.

This season, the Ravens look to have a normal year behind Lamar Jackson. Dobbins looks like he could be their breakout star.

The team will always be run-heavy, but loading up on the passing game is clearly a reaction to the team’s lack of success with keeping backs healthy. They added Odell Beckham Jr. in free agency and Zay Jones in the draft, giving Jackson a proper slew of weapons when added to Rashon Bateman and Mark Andrews. That leaves them without a need for a stacked running back room.

Justice Hill could be the odd man out. The Ravens save no money by cutting Gus Edwards, and Dobbins is the man in that backfield. Hill is being regulated to third string, and that’s not enough to stay on this roster anymore.
