3. Victor Ochi

The Ravens had been waiting on Victor Ochi to generate the kind of play that matches the buzz around him. Ochi has been everyone’s favorite undrafted free agent. Hailing from Stony Brook, Ochi was going to have a tough transition. There is no questioning his talent. The only question is whether he is a practice squad player or a full blown Raven after training camp?

Ochi showed some expensive ability getting to the quarterback. He forced a fumble and had a sack in one swift move. Ochi also stopped a reverse from getting any traction, which showed his ability to make plays sideline to sideline.

This has been a quiet preseason for Ochi. When it is all said and done, this could be too late for the light to come on. With the roster fully stocked with pass rushing talent, being a developmental player from a small school doesn’t help your chances.
