The Baltimore Ravens went into the 2021 NFL Draft looking to bolster their pass rush after losing both Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue in free agency. And they did so by selecting Penn State’s Odafe Oweh in the first round.

Oweh was widely seen as one of the most talented edge rushers in the 2021 class with unmatched athleticism and raw talent. But perhaps the most important word being “raw.”

A one-year starter at Penn State, Oweh didn’t record a single sack in 2020 despite starting seven games, but he was still disruptive enough to be named first-team All-Big Ten.
