Left Defensive End:

1. Timmy Jernigan: Jernigan is one of the most exciting players on the Ravens entire roster. The second round pick from Florida State is entering his third season. In his first two seasons, Jernigan has totaled eight sacks. Jernigan has the potential to become one of the best players in football. The Ravens are looking for him to have a breakout year in 2016. They know what he is capable of. He has to deliver.

Jernigan is a force to be reckoned with in the trenches. He’s a 6’2″ 302 pound man that is as strong as an ox. The sky is the limit for Jernigan. If he takes a step forward this season, the Ravens opponents should be afraid.

2. Willie Henry: This rookie from Michigan is one of the most underrated players in the 2016 NFL Draft. He goes from the younger Harbaugh brother to the older one, with the Ravens. Henry is somebody who can push Jernigan to play his best. Henry and Jernigan are strikingly similar talents. If Jernigan is not careful, Henry may get snaps at his expense.
