The Baltimore Ravens made a not insignificant leap of faith when they picked up the fifth-year option in Odafe Oweh’s contract, but the former first-round pick is justifying the decision.
Oweh proved “an absolute menace” at OTAs on Tuesday, May 28, according to Ravens.com Editorial Director Ryan Mink. He also noted how the outside linebacker stood out “both as a pass rusher and run defender.
There was further praise from Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. He noticed Oweh and defensive tackle Broderick Washington “were in the backfield throughout the day, blowing up running plays and providing pressure on the quarterback.”
These positive flashes, albeit in sterile conditions, bode well for Oweh. The player selected with the 31st pick in the 2021 NFL draft has struggled to consistently produce splash plays.
