2. Matt Judon:

Matt Judon has star written all over him. In his rookie season he had four sacks and showed promise. We have to remember that Judon came into the league from Grand Valley State. That’s a pretty big leap into the NFL. Judon has all the potential in the world to be a starter for the Ravens opposite of Suggs.

Judon is 6’3″ and 275 pounds. He has explosion and he has the physical tools that you cannot coach. Most importantly the Ravens may not have a choice; they may need Judon to step up. If the Ravens cannot find another edge player in the NFL Draft, Judon is far from the worst contingency plan for the purple and black.

The great thing about having Terrell Suggs on board, is that Judon can learn from a living legend. Let’s hope he takes after number 55 and he becomes the next X-Factor for the Ravens front seven.
