C. 6 Tackles / 5 Assists / 1 Sack . DE. Baltimore Ravens. BRENT URBAN

It was a long road for Urban to get back onto the playing field, but he made the most of it once healthy. The 6-foot-7 defensive end will most be remembered for blocking Travis Coon’s attempted game-winning field goal and

Will Hill

scooping it up for the score and the win over the Cleveland Browns.

It was his first game coming off the short-term IR spot and he made an knock immediately, playing in the final six games of the season. He recorded four tackles in extending playing time in the beat down at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, and his first career sack in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

We saw glimpses of why Ozzie decided to take a chance on Urban in the fourth round last year. His long arms allow him to get off would-be blockers and he should continue to grow with more playing time. Expect him to be a key part of the rotation at defensive end next season.
