Kamalei Correa was an outside linebacker at Boise State, but he is pegged as a starting inside linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. Correa has made a lot of noise during training camp. This is partly because he has impressed at the linebacker position and partly because he has been so fiery. Correa is showing signs of being a classic Ravens player. He is physical and he is relentless. The question that remains to be answered is whether or not he is an upgrade from Daryl Smith?
Smith was a sure tackling linebacker who provided veteran leadership. Smith was an every down linebacker who was good against the run and the aerial assault.
