All offseason I’ve advocated for the Ravens to sign Shane Ray, and it finally came to fruition last week. The former Denver Bronco is a polished pass-rusher who can rush with speed and converts speed to power extremely well. He’s been able to do this for quite some time, as he tied the (then) SEC record for sacks in a single-season.
“Sting Ray” was unanimously selected as a first-team All-American, won SEC Defensive Player of the Year and was selected 23rd overall by the Broncos in 2015. Ray checks many of the cliché boxes, such as: “plays with his hair on fire” and possesses a “relentless motor”.
