The Baltimore Ravens are expecting several members of their 2020 draft class to make more contributions and carve out larger roles heading into their second season, where most players make their biggest strides.
One of those rising sophomores, who are currently flying under the radar but are eying a bigger role in 2021, is inside linebacker Malik Harrison. He was active for and appeared in every game as a rookie, rotating with veteran L.J. Fort at the weakside (WILL) linebacker spot opposite of fellow 2020 draftee Patrick Queen.
He is ready for a more consistent playing time on defense now that he is playing faster and more free thanks to his experience, the work he’s put in since the season ended, and a better understanding of the playbook.
