Re: Ravens 2020 Backfield and Running Game
Not necessarily. I don't think it would happen this year owing to the leap in competition even if he does make the roster, but a 235 pound fullback in a pass happy league is plenty big enough.
Again, the Ravens have nine players on their roster from FCS teams, including Patrick Ricard."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

Re: Ravens 2020 Backfield and Running Game
Ah, now I understand. Thing is I come from a D-II school and four people my sophomore year were drafted, one of them a 10 year starter at Mike so it's not as big a deal to me. A lot of times people don't go D-1 because of grades or some other reason not dealing with football. Corey Dillion playing for us or Washington came down to him passing a class, which he obviously did. Janoris Jenkins did play for us and we weren't his first choice either. I probably wouldn't draft a FCS player in the first, regardless of combine numbers.
As I said earlier, for me it's not so much about questioning his athletic prowess as it is about him being a good football player. We had plenty of athletic guys, but can they play football in the NFL is another question entirely. Making plays at a lower level of competition is easy if you're a great athlete. Making plays when you're an average athlete (relatively speaking) is what it takes in the NFL."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar.

Re: Ravens 2020 Backfield and Running Game
Part of the reason is because his measurables are very much in doubt. The NFL has means of acquiring more accurate game specific testing numbers. They barely rely on combine numbers which are official and standardized but they think even less of pro-day numbers and I doubt they care at all about socially distanced unverified testing numbers.

5) J.K. Dobbins, Baltimore Ravens
Drafted: Round 2, No. 55 overall
College: Ohio State
With the third-most yards after contact in the FBS since 2017 (2,652, per PFF) and the third-most last season alone (1,208), it makes sense that Dobbins had 31 rushes of 15-plus yards in 2019 (most in FBS) and forced 73 missed tackles on rushes.
Sixteen of those came in the 2019 Big Ten title game win over Wisconsin -- the third-most missed tackles forced by any player in a single 2019 game, per PFF. But for Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson, who combined for 2,224 rushing yards last season, Dobbins' projection would have been quite a bit higher than No. 30, where he ranks among running backs in my PPR projections.

21. MARK INGRAM II, BALTIMORE RAVENS
Ingram will have plenty of competition for touches in the Ravens’ backfield and could end up being surpassed by J.K. Dobbins at some point in the season, but he’s probably done enough to at least start the year atop the depth chart. His north-south running style played well in his first season in Baltimore, as he headlined the backfield of the league’s best rushing attack. Ingram averaged over 3 yards after contact per carry in 2019 and forced a missed tackle on nearly one-fifth of his carries. He wasn’t asked to do much as a receiver, but he did force an additional five missed tackles on 26 receptions. Nearly 31 years old, Ingram is probably on the downswing, but he should remain a reliable option for Greg Roman’s offense next season.Last edited by edromeo; 06-11-2020 at 11:40 PM.
