First-round rookie inside linebacker Patrick Queen played with the starters Monday, often alongside L.J. Fort, and displayed the attributes that made him appealing to the Ravens. His natural acceleration stuck out on several plays when he planted his foot and dated toward ball-carriers. Queen, one of the lightest linebackers in the 2020 draft class, will need to show this year that he can shed NFL-caliber blocks and prove that he has the muscle to pile up tackles in the professional ranks. But at first glance, he moved like a ready-made starter Monday.
For much of the team drills, the Ravens’ heralded secondary provided stifling coverage.
