Baltimore is loaded on offense and even after adding Odell Beckham to the passing game, Todd Monken’s bread and butter could be a versatile rushing attack.
The Ravens have six players on the roster capable of carrying the load and after a 20-19 win over the Eagles in the preseason opener, Justice Hill made a pretty bold claim.
“I feel like we have the best running back room in the league,” Hill said. “We all bring a different skillset, and whenever we‘re all out there, we can show that. Whatever number is called, whoever’s number is called, we all just go out there and execute and make plays.”
