In running for starting job
OGBaltimore Ravens
May 29, 2023
Simpson will compete in training camp with Ben Cleveland and others for the Ravens' starting left guard spot, Jeff Zrebiac of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Patrick Mekari and Daniel Faalele could also be in the mix, but Mekari might be more valuable as a versatile backup all over the offensive line, while Faalele is viewed as more of a developmental tackle. Simpson spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Raiders and started 21 games after being a fourth-round pick in 2020.
