Back in 2016, the Ravens need for a top-tier edge rusher was steadily growing. After a dominant performance by Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil in 2014 in which the tandem combined for 29.0 sacks, the following year was not a repeat. Terrell Suggs played only a single game as he suffered a torn Achilles and Dumervil produced only six sacks after his 17.0 sack season the year prior. The entire 2015 season eventually collapsed, as Joe Flacco suffered a torn ACL and there became a rotation of quarterbacks, including Ryan Mallett, Matt Schaub and Jimmy Clausen.
