3 Ravens Players Who Will Be Rookie of the Year Candidates in 2020

The Baltimore Ravens don't draft players just to keep them on the bench. If they pick you, they want you to play, and this year's rookie class has the potential to become big names right out of the gate. Stud quarterback Lamar Jackson might be the reigning MVP, but there could be a new star winning big for the Ravens soon.

Queen was the Ravens' first-round draft pick and, if his performances at LSU are any indication, he's going to be a beast on the field. He's used to being a major playmaker and posted 85 tackles last season at LSU. He also has speed to spare and could really push the Ravens' defense from good to unbeatable.

2. WR Devin Duvernay

Duvernay flexed his pure speed when he ran a 4.40 at the Combine, but he also has great hands and he does the little things that make him an all-around talent. The Ravens do have a solid receiving core, but if Duvernay can find a permanent spot on the field, catching passes from Jackson is going to push him to incredible accolades.

Madubuike will have a challenging road if he wants to vye for Rookie of the Year, but it's not impossible. The Ravens' projected starters are all seasoned veterans, but they're all over 30, which makes injuries very possible. Madubuike could slot right in and dominate with his size and athleticism.
