Late For Work 5/24: Ravens' Most Critical Player Will Surprise You

Judon Is Ravens’ ‘Player on the Spot’

Who the Ravens’ most critical player to success this year?

“Every NFL team has a player who will be on the spot, the focus of fans, media members and their own coaches and teammates,” wrote CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco.

“How that player responds will go a long way toward deciding whether a team can make major improvements, maybe even win it all.”

Prisco’s pick for that guy on the Ravens is – brace yourself – outside linebacker Matthew Judon.

“As a rookie last season, he flashed some nice pass-rush potential, getting four sacks in a backup role,” Prisco wrote.
