Queen is having his finest season as a Raven. He’s second on the team to Smith with 53 tackles, tied for first with Madubuike with five tackles for loss and tied for second with Jadeveon Clowney with 3.5 sacks. He’s playing with more physicality and avoiding some of the missed tackles and broken assignments that impacted him earlier in his career. There are teams that don’t value the inside linebacker position enough to spend significant money on it, but Queen’s playmaking ability will surely garner attention on the open market — if he gets there.
Madubuike has shown potential in flashes during his previous three seasons, but he’s now making impactful plays on a more consistent basis.
