Center:

1. Jeremy Zuttah: Zuttah is the perfect blend of football IQ, power and quickness. The Ravens love their center, because he is reliable. He has one of the coolest names in professional football, and he is built for the zone blocking scheme. He is a 6’4″ 300 pound center. He is strong enough to hold his weight in the trenches. He is quick enough to make plays happen for Forsett.

Zuttah was acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay, before the 2014 season. With a torn pectoral muscle, that he tore last season, he is yet another Raven attempting to make a comeback. The Ravens need Zuttah to be ready to go, as he is very reliable.

2. Ryan Jensen: Jensen is one of those players that has high potential that has not had many chances to show it. Jensen got six starts last season and did a decent job. The Ravens now know, that they don’t have to worry about putting him in. Jensen can get the job done, if he is called upon.

Next: right guard
