Roger Rosengarten saw elite pass rushers from Day 1 when he joined the Ravens, but the former Washington Huskies offensive tackle improved, battled, and finished the year as one of the best players on a solid offensive line.
Rosengarten was the ninth tackle selected in last April’s NFL draft, and on Tuesday, he earned a spot on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie team.
Rosengarten and No. 5-overall pick Joe Alt of the Los Angeles Chargers were the all-rookie offensive tackles.
After alternating snaps in the first three weeks, Rosengarten took over as the Ravens’ starting right tackle in Week 4 and never looked back, starting 16 games (including the playoffs).
Among offensive tackles who played at least 50% of the snaps, Rosengarten ranked No. 39 at his position, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). He was credited with four sacks allowed in 488 pass-blocking snaps.
