6 former Ravens debuted with their new teams in Week 1. How did they perform?
LG Ben Powers - Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos former Ravens guard Ben Powers at the start of free agency, which created a glaring hole in the front line of the Flock.
Powers was a very valuable piece of the Ravens offense, starting 29 games in the previous two seasons for Baltimore and allowing just one sack in 2022, with a pass-blocking efficiency of 98.8, second-highest among guards with over 1,000 snaps. Powers played all 1,096 offensive snaps for the Ravens in 2022.

Was one block away (74 not sure what he was doing) from a huge play on Sean Payton's first PA RB Screen call.

Powers started and played 64 snaps with 42 of them on pass-blocking duties and 22 on rush attempts.
He struggled to block runs and screens (see above), but PFF gave him a supreme 70.3 pass-blocking great, one of the best across the NFL from Week 1.
