Breakout NFL candidates for 2023: Baltimore Ravens – David Ojabo

There is one player we have who is still in his college jersey in his picture. David Ojabo missed almost all of last season still recovering from his torn Achilles. He got hurt during his Pro Day, which obviously took out his entire season. This is a very young player who will recover better than older players with the same injury, which gives us hope he can be the Baltimore Ravens’ breakout player.

After recording just one tackle in 2022, David Ojabo is looking to take over a starting linebacker spot in 2023. He has to overcome Tyus Bowser, who himself is a former second-round pick. However, Bowser seems to be nothing more than a roadblock to Ojabo.

Ojabo looked amazing in early workouts. He was said to make offensive tackles lives living hell during practice. He looks much more explosive, which is exactly why the Ravens drafted him out of Michigan. This was a force on the Wolverines’ defense, someone who has played for both Harbaugh head coaches. We expect Jim Harbaugh to tell his brother John exactly how good his former pass rusher would be.

Ojabo is 23 years old, and he has his entire career in front of him. The Ravens have a way of finding stars at the linebacker position. They have Roquan Smith, Odafe Oweh, and Patrick Queen taking three of the four positions right now. Adding Ojabo, who could be the best of them as soon as this year, will only make this defensive core better.
