Breaking down all 2023 Baltimore Ravens roster cuts
27. Defensive Lineman - Angelo Blackson
Angelo Blackson, a former fourth-round pick in the NFL draft, has had a successful career with 42 starts. He started with the Tennessee Titans in 2015 and 2016, then joined the Houston Texans from 2017 to 2019. In 2020, he was with the Arizona Cardinals before spending the past two seasons with the Chicago Bears.
However, in 2022, he experienced a decline from 584 snaps to 393, and 25 pressures to just five. A coaching change in 2021 led to a coaching change, and Blackson was signed to play 5-technique with the Chicago Bears.
The team phased him out before moving on. Blackson is expected to stay within the Ravens practice squad, where he will play his normal defensive line role in training reps awaiting his chance at cracking the active roster.
