Marshal Yanda Retires After 13 Seasons
Back in 2007 when the Ravens were on the clock set to make their third-round pick, guard was probably the last position I expected from GM Ozzie Newsome with the 86th overall pick. After all, Ozzie just made Ben Grubbs the team’s first round pick. But with that pick, Ozzie called the name of a player who played for a man he knew well…University of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz. Marshal Yanda then became a Raven.
Yanda started in 12 of 16 games during his rookie season and was the defacto starter heading into 2008.
