The Ravens will be thrilled to the second member of their dynamic two-headed monster duo in the backfield. With Jackon's dynamic rushing ability under center and the pair of Edwards and J.K. Dobbins combining for 1,500+ rushing yards in 2020, the Ravens easily led the NFL on the ground last year.

Baltimore averaged 191.9 rushing yards per game in 2020, nearly 30 more yards per game than the second-leading Tennessee Titans. Edwards signed a two-year contract extension earlier this offseason after pacing the Ravens' running back corps in attempts (144) with 723 yards and 6 touchdowns.
