The 2014 NFL Draft was a big one for the Baltimore Ravens; coming off their first non-playoff season since 2007 and were only a year removed from drafting Matt Elam and Arthur Brown. General Manager Ozzie Newsome had to hit his first-round pick out of the park to rebound from the Elam selection, and sure enough, he took a middle linebacker from his old college stomping grounds. A player who has now become one of the best linebackers in football, a leader for the Ravens defense: C.J. Mosley.
In his first three seasons, Mosley stood out, recording 342 total tackles, seven sacks, six interceptions, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one touchdown and is a two-time Pro Bowler over the course of his short career.
