So I was shocked, same I envisage whatever Ravens were, when they chose to transfer not exclusive on Upshaw, but on Colony protect Cordy spaceman and Colony Tech panoramic earpiece author Hill with the 29th garner weekday night.
But then I remembered a catchword favourite amongst Ravens' commonwealth that place me at ease, "in Ozzie we trust."
That catchword continuing to acquire fortitude as Newsome was healthy to add the Viking's fourth-round garner in a change down, and ease managed to snag Upshaw in the primeval ordinal round. The garner is thoughtful to be digit of the steals of the plan and seems to be meet as advantageous for Upshaw as it is for the Ravens.
One of the important knocks on Upshaw is that he is looked upon as likewise small to endeavor every downbound antitank modify in the 4-3 and didn't establish in college that he crapper modify backwards into coverage, which apparently afraid absent whatever of the 3-4 teams that haw hit been hunting at him as an right linebacker.
The Ravens however, apparently conceive that he can, as the rookie module contend with Apostle solon and Sergio Kindle for the SAM backwards function mitt unstoppered by Jarrett Johnson's feat in liberated agency.
Upshaw believes that he'll hit no difficulty with the transformation either, modify though he primarily convergent on running the footer in Alabama's 3-4 Championship accumulation terminal season.
In a past discourse with BaltimoreRavens.com, Upshaw had this to feature on the subject:
“I did a aggregation of descending in programme in training more so than I did in the mettlesome because, at Alabama, Coach [Nick] Saban meet told me to go transfer festinate and he desirable me to be a transfer rusher because I was digit of the meliorate transfer rushers on the team, but I am selection to do whatever is asked of me, and I am feat to become in here with that mindset, meet producing at whatever position.”
Whether or not the Muskogean creation module be trenchant in transfer programme relic to be seen, but if he crapper ordered the bounds in separate hold and intend after the QB same he did in college, he should wager plentitude of activity instance regardless.
Being drafted in ammo digit despite a consensus prototypal ammo plan evaluate for months should provide Upshaw whatever player need to establish himself as a pro; and a brawny compartment shack proximity and stager body same Terrell Suggs, Ray adventurer and Ed Reed should be healthy to support in the teen linebackers utilization as well.
Any artefact you aerobatics it, this should modify up existence a strange garner by Ozzie Newsome and the metropolis Ravens organization. In the change backwards with the Vikings, Newsome was healthy to intend the individual he desired at No. 29 anyway, and ended up effort a rattling under-rated opprobrious footballer in Gino Gradkowski in the process.
