Heading into the 2021 season the Baltimore Ravens would’ve likely been projected to receive their best bang for their buck from the running back position. Both J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill are still on their rookie contracts and neither were first-round picks in their respective drafts. Gus Edwards signed a two-year extension worth $10 million in early July, nowhere near the top of the market rate at the position.
All that changed when all three were lost for the year due to injury within 12 days of each other prior to the onset of the regular season.
