3. Michael Pierce:

All preseason long, there was no player more energetic than the mammoth Michael Pierce. Pierce made one of the biggest plays of the preseason against the New Orleans Saints. He bull rushed his way to the quarterback, the ball popped loose and he recovered it in the end zone. Pierce showed the Ravens that his talent matched his high motor.

Pierce is the kind of player that will make an impact late in games. As a rotational player on the defensive line, he can make the high effort plays that make a difference in a grueling battle.
