The Baltimore Ravens house one of the best interior defensive line units that the NFL has to offer. They have a wide array of veteran and young talent that can carry the group far, with stars and promising potential being their calling card.
When defensive coordinator Zach Orr was asked about some of the talent on the defensive line in Travis Jones, he also made it a point to bring Michael Pierce into the conversation. He talked about how he believes both players are going to play a lot of great football for the Ravens in 2024, with their rotation abilities being a big part of how Orr wants to do things defensively.
“I think both of those guys [Travis Jones and Michael Pierce] are heck of players. Obviously, Travis [Jones] is going into Year Three; I mean, we expect big things out of ‘Big Trav.’ With the D-Line [defensive line], it’s great to have guys who can rotate there in and out [and] keep those guys fresh. I think our D-Line is one of the best in the National Football League, and Michael Pierce and Travis are a big part of that. I think both of those guys are going to play a lot of great football for us this year.”
Baltimore will need their defensive front to help them try to repeat their historic success from the 2023 season. Jones is expected to one of the breakout players on the Ravens’ roster this year, while Pierce will likely be a veteran mainstay on the team’s defense once again.
