Oregon. Royce Freeman. 28. player. 26. The undefeated Baltimore Ravens are getting it done on defense this year so far. And despite having the personnel to have and explosive offense, the offense isn’t exploding. Quarterback Joe Flacco must not be to sharp yet as he comes back from his torn ACL last year.
<p>Speedster Mike Wallace started the season pretty well but has since gone back into the hole. And after one big play in the season-opener, 2015 first-round pick Breshad Perriman hasn’t done Jack. And the running game has been even worse with Justin Forsett looking like a one-hit wonder.</p>
<p>After rushing for over 1,200 yards in 2014, he has completely fallen off the map, especially this year. I guess that’s why the Ravens cut him and brought him back cheaper after giving him a big contract. So at No. 28 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Ravens select running back Royce Freeman from Oregon.</p>
<p>At 5’11”, 230 pounds, Freeman has speed to burn and is elusive as a scat-back in the open field. But don’t get in twisted, he has the power that a man of his build should have. With this pick, the Ravens have a physical running game to rest the defense to go with the deep ball.</p>. RB
