16. DL Michael Pierce
Before suffering a torn biceps in Week 3 of the 2022 season, Pierce had looked like one of the NFL’s best nose tackles. Back at full strength, he looked the part again for stretches of last season. Pierce’s 25 run stops — tackles that constitute a “failure” for the offense — led the Ravens and ranked 15th among all interior defensive linemen, according to PFF. His strength and durability, a question mark in recent years, helped fortify a defense that could bottle up ground games even when it was playing with light boxes upfront.
