If this was a grade scale for intelligence, Urschel gets an ‘A’ as he is probably the smartest person in all of sports. However, he isn’t exactly the best offensive lineman.

He took over for Zuttah once he was injured and it was not exactly the best start for him. He struggled with shotgun snaps in his first few starts, but turned it around after getting some playing time. He’s a decent option at center for the time being, but should not be relied upon for too long.

He still has two more years remaining on his deal so it’s a strong possibility he sticks around next season as he only counts for $636,000 against the cap. It’s likely that the Ravens bring in some competition, however, in a hope to upgrade a rather weak reserve unit.
