There’s a reason why Kamalei Correa is running with the first-team defense.
It’s because the rookie second-round pick is standing out – in multiple ways.
In Monday’s stadium practice, it was because of a scuffle with tight end Dennis Pitta, then big hit on wide receiver Mike Wallace that drew a scolding from quarterback Joe Flacco.
On Saturday, it was a fingertips interception of Flacco that was one of the most impressive defensive plays of training camp thus far.
Any way you slice it, Correa is making a strong first impression, and is looking like the leading candidate to be the starting inside linebacker next to C.
