Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum (64) during an NFL
football game against the New Orleans Saints, Monday, Nov. 7, 2022, in New
Orleans.
The Ravens are well-represented on the AFC Pro Bowl roster with
six players, but there are several others who are worthy that didn't make it.
Among them is rookie center Tyler Linderbaum, who was one
of eight players who should have received the honor, according to NFL.com's Eric Edholm.
The two centers
who made the AFC Pro Bowl roster are the Chiefs' Creed Humphrey and Bills'
Mitch Morse.
"Don't
blame Linderbaum for the offense's struggles; the rookie has been playing excellent ball,
especially of late," Edholm wrote.
Edholm took note of Linderbaum's performances against a couple of All-Pros this season.
"Turn on the Buccaneers tape from Week 8 for an
example of what we're talking about. The first-rounder takes LB Devin White on
about a 7-yard ride on one play," Edholm wrote. "Looking for
something more recent? Check out the Pittsburgh game from two weeks ago, when
the Steelers moved Cam Heyward over center quite a bit. Linderbaum more than
held his own against the three-time All-Pro."
