Is Kyle Van Noy the Ravens defensive MVP so far?

To say that 33-year-old Kyle Van Noy is rejuvenated right now is an understatement. He’s actually playing better now, in his mid-30s, than he ever has.

Van Noy has six sacks through the first four games of this season, bringing him to 15 throughout his 18-game stint with Baltimore.

Entering the 2024 season, opposing offensive coordinators knew who the biggest playmakers would be on the Ravens’ defense. They had their short lists of players you had to game plan against.

None of them likely had KVN anywhere near the top of their lists. But here you have the 11-year veteran, on his fifth team, remaking himself. One of the most underrated signings in Ravens history, we’ve seen him evolve from a drop coverage-focused linebacker to a pass-rushing specialist.

Baltimore should do what it takes to make sure he closes out his career there.
