The Baltimore
Ravens drafted center Tyler Linderbaum in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft with the pick they
received when they traded wide receiver Marquise Brown to the Arizona
Cardinals. There were a few concerns about Linderbaum’s size coming out of
college, but so far he’s
played exceptionally well for a Baltimore offensive line that needed to perform
at a high level.
Heading into their Thursday night game against the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers in Week 8, Ravens
head coach John Harbaugh praised the play of the rookie, saying that he’s all
business and already playing really well.
The offensive line is extremely important when it comes to
offensive success, and Linderbaum
has provided a steady presence in the middle of their unit. He’s stifled some
of the best interior players in the NFL over the course of his young career so
far, something he’ll hopefully be able to do for years in Baltimore.
